Hajor Bill Upbam, the Republican nominee for governor, was the first outsider out-sider to put in an appearance at Phillips, Phil-lips, the little town that has just been obliterated by fire. Walking among the ruins, he met the postmaster of the place. "What's become of your coat?'" asked Upham. "Egad, I lost it in the fire," 6aid the postmaster. "I haven't got a stitch of clothes except such as I have on now." Bill whipped off his coat in a second. "Take my coat, " says ha "I've got another an-other at horna Take it, and when you get through with it pass it along to Borne other fellow that needs it " An hour later Governor Peck arrived at Phillips, and the postmaster was telling tell-ing him how Bill Upham had made him take and wear his coat, while he (Bill) was going around in his shirt sleeves, ""v "Yes, that's just like Bill," said Peck. "He has probably given away his shirt by this time, and his pantaloons, panta-loons, and his shoes and socks. Bill never stands around and lets other people peo-ple suffer when he can help 'em. The chances are that by the time he gets ready to quit this place he'll have to walk to the train in a barrel " s This incident illustrates very fairly the kindly feeling that exists between the two gubernatorial candidates. To be 6nre, Peck has not yet been renominated, renom-inated, but. his renomination seems a foregone conclusion. Chicago Record. |
