"Here's the trail plain enough, but it's all out of the question ter follow on shank's own mare." "Let us hunt up Clemmer and the others," suggested Jack Rasco.
"Don't uncover to anybody until you are positive it is a friend." "And here's a bite for yer," added Clemmer, handing out some rations he carried in a haversack. "You'll get mighty hungry ere the sun comes up again." In a minute more the two horsemen were galloping away.

It was a cry from a patch of woods to the northward, and straining his eyes he saw Cal Clemmer waving his sombrero toward him. Scout and cowboy boomer were soon together.

"A few read the petitions as they would any other, with dignity and without comment," reported the popular journalist, Mary Clemmer, in her weekly Washington column, "but the majority seemed intensely conscious of holding something unutterably funny in their hands.... The entire Senate presented the appearance of a laughing school practicing sidesplitting and ear-extended grins."
