Col. Villas a Winner

All attempts to make it appear that
there is a possibility of Col. VIM. f.
Villas failing to receive election to
the u. 5. Senatorship at the hand of
the democratic legislature are sim
ply ridiculous. The latest fad in
this direction is about the worst;
that combination of farmer demo
cratic Legislators with republicans
was to be formed for the election of a
farmer candidate. How idiotic this
suggestion is, appears to the people
Of Iowa county, when the name of K.
u. Baker is noticed in the list of
granger democrats relied upon to
vote against Villas. There is no
room for reasonable doubt that Col
Villas is the choice of large major
ity Of the democratic members, an d
that be will be nominated by accla-
nation as soon as caucus can be
organized to do it. All the republi-
can minority has to do in the matter
is to record their votes for John C..
Spooner, the unanimous choice Of
their party Colonel Villas has earn
ed the position Of democratic Sena.
tor, He is the peer of any man Of
his party in the state, and is exceled
by none in subservienoy to the uu-
patriot, elements of the state and
