Smith was renominated for Congress at
the convention held in De Witt last
Wednesday. There was no strong oppo-
sition to him, and the little skrmishing
only developed the fact that Mr..
Smyth's strength laid with the people,
and that as they had willed that he
should return to Congress for another
| term, it only meant disaster and defeat
to any uian or number of men who
shod essay to measure strength with him
on the floor of the convention. So the
resu.t is only what we expected. Mr..

ably and consistently, if not brilliantly.
He serves his constituents to the best of
his ability-and we believe his ability
| to be above that of the average of Con-
gressmen. He deserves the confidence
of our people, and this emphatic en-
dorsement Of his course proves that he
