| Durand Express: The name of our fell
low citizen, Charles G. DeCamp, is being
extensively mentioned throughout the
county as a republican candidate for Rep
resentative. That he would make strong
race If nominated is generally conceded.
and that he would ably represent the very
best interests of the count y If elected is be-
yond question. He is young and energetic;
! is one of our most successful besiness mem;
| has good education; his integrity an1 re-
| liability are A. 1. Few men could or would
get in more solid and useful work as a rep
resentative, than Mr.. DeCamp. He would
confer honor upon the position, and his
nomination would give strength to the ticket
We can vouch for the tact that Mr.. DeCamp
is good friend to the Woodworking news
paper man.
