democratic paper, the Anderson Standard,
edited by E. Y. Long:
We see by the Plymouth Demoerot that
our old friend, ID. f. Nanvalkenburgh, of
that place, has been nominated as the
democratic candidate for Representative

Marshall did "good thing in the nom

He will be elected by large majority. and
