mour being on the republican ticket, and

The republicans do not seem TO be very
much surprised at Major Anderson bolt
ing from the convention at Shenandoah

mont county, but that each year Fremont
county has been told to wait until the
next year. As Page county holds the
majority of delegates, Fremont county
could not well hclp herself and now r,,.
volts. On the other side, il is claimed
that Anderson is Il natural kicker and Il
spoiled child, and that senator Clark will
be strong enough 10 be elected, even
with Anderson in the field If Anderson
does not run better than he did for con.
gress, he will not have enough votes to
scare anybody,
