Several propitious Intervening steps must oc-cur oc-cur before this interesting possibility i bei Dines a fact. one of the Mumbling blocks in the j way of a Walsh monopoh of the togas, of course, is Senator Henrj Cabot j Lodge He must be disposed of either ai the primaries or at the election to make B second Walsh possible. Also two other Democrat aspirants for the senators!; ip must be trampled down in the dust by the new Walsh before he wins the right to contest the election of Ihe Republican nominee. The now Walsh in the offing is John Jackson Walsh And be says that if the sovereign voters of the old Bay state are eo well pleased with cne Walsh In the senate there in no reason why they should not have an other So far as known here John Jackson Walsh is no relation to Stna tor David I. Walsh except that he Ij a Democrat and holds the Shamrock to be the world's greatest plant prod uct Already there are two Walshes in the senate. Thomas J . of Montana, supplementing David I., of Massachusetts. Massachu-setts. There are also two Jones, one of New Mexico and Washington; And two Watsons two Watsons whose t i- u s and temperaments are as wide apart as (he poles Jim. of Indiana, wheel horse of the Republicans, and Tom, of Georgia, tlrcbrand of democracy democ-racy and ructionR in general |
