provide more polling places In the
towns along the canal, the Demo.
cratic County Central Committee Is
seriously considering the project of

The esteemed Tribune realizes full
we'll that Hon. r. Il. Ryan can beat
any man the Republicans may nomi
nate for Congress In the Fourth Dis
trict, consequently II Is now more
deeply concerned In Frank LAWYERS
Independent canvass than the pros
pcctiyc Republican nominee. The
Wednesday issue of the Tribune says;
"A movement Is on foot to have Tin
Ryan, the Democratic nominee fol
Congress in the Fourth District,
withdraw In the interest OF Frank
Lawler, who has IN alleged Populis'
nomination and Is also circulating q
petition. The regular POpulists re-
pudiate the convention that nomi
mated Lawler. Mr.. Lawler insist.
he Is the candidate and Is making a
fight along these lines" THE EAGLE
wishes Its readers to understand tina,
all this kind OF "twiddle twaddle" Il
mere bosh. Hon. Il. T.. Ryan Is q
Democrat from the ground up, and Il
too old a soldier In the Democratic
ranks to be frightened out oil
the race by the alleged candidacy Of
any independent or boltcr Mr..
Ryan Is a man of the people and will
not only poll the solid Democratic
vote of the district, but his past
efficient record In positions of trust
where he served the community al
large faithfully and we'll will com.
mand for him the suirrages OF the
solid business men of the district
outside Of partylines. A campaignei
from Campaignville. Hon. Il. +.
Ryan will surely be the next Con,
gresham from the Fourth District.
