The Congressional chances in this
district are beingearnestly discussed
by leading men of both parties. On
the Democratic side there will be a
good chance for dark horse. The
Republicans will take strong man.
Outside of Mr.. Flick, this end has
but one man who has any prospect
for the nomination, and that is Hon.
John j. Hetzell, of Paw-Paw. AS
far as we know, there is no one East
of the Mountains who desires the
nomination. There are a number
of good and strong men in the other
end of the district, but the indlca.
tions are that no effort will be made
by anyone for the nomination, and
that the candidate will be the unan-
imous choice of the convention. The
Congressional Committee will meet
on the 2Sth of July, to name the
time and place for holding the con-
vention.
To succeed in this district, it will
take a second Goff,-an active man,
able and watchful, good speaker,
to follow up the free trade candidate
and place him squarely before the
people, prove his position on the tar
and hold him to his own and his
party's record. He must also be a
good campaign manager, one who
will see that justice is done those
come in from neighboring counties
to vote, and draw the line according
to law and not party.
