friends of John A. Lovely know thel.
sorrow. Those Republicans who do
not wish to give Judge Wilson the credit
of carrying the district, say Mark Dun
nell defeated Lovely.
THE ACUTE MARK
Nobody believes Dunnell went into
his closet and wept when he learned
that his own town had cut Lovely 153
votes, whether his own vote was one OF
the 153 or not, and nobody believes, even
here, that when Lovely evens up the
job in Freeborn county Dunnell can
blame him. However, this is Dunnell'S
own bailiwick. Here he sings with the
Baptist brethren and gets their votes,
and here he may develop strength. His
two sons instead of peddling Wilson
tickets, as they did two years ago, will
do some good old family work, and Dun
nell may carry the county by 200 ma
iority. Nobody believes he will get
more. Common rumOr says he has been
abundantly supplied with campaign
sugar, and is melting it into tally
all over the district, but it is not
believed he can accomplish much
move here. Judge Wilson will poll the
party strength, though he has not the
support, active and ardent, of B. E.
Darby, editor of the Peoples Press.
Editor Darby wanted the pOStoffice, and
when the veteran Amos CoggSwell got
it Brother Darby blamed Judge Wilson,
and said hard things of Kelly and
Doran. Somebody should pray with
Brother Darby, for he is too fine gem
tleman to be long in this frame of mind.
He looked up from an unfinished edl-
torlal on the "Unjust Tax ON Binding
Twine" to say to ME:
Eugene Wilson will carry this
county all right enough or L know
nothing of the temper of our farmers"

T. Drebert was getting out the journal,

gentleman, should imagine Mr.. Dire

over the outlook, for he would not
cheerfully give out the reasons why all
Republicans of Steele county should re-
jOice and be glad. He "allOwed Mr..
Wilson had mighty fine meeting last
night" and l figured from that it was
indeed fine meeting, as all the Demo-
Gratis said. But a merchant had said to
me during that meeting: Look at
Drebert giving out. He can't stand this
argument. He's the editor of the Re-
publican paper, you know In casual
kind of way, Mr.. Drebert said:
Steele county will give the regular
majority this year, because it is presi-
Dental year. There are men who will
wander off and vote even the state
Democratic ticket, in off years, but they
vote straight when there is president
to be chosen"
