The decision of the committee was
generally regarded as compromise, as
all the members admitted that it could
not affect the status of Peterson and
French, and while Peterson is declared
not to be the regular candidate, Banker
Smith Is given clean bill of health
and told to go ahead.
The Redwood county workers will
not get very large share of the cam
paign Doodle placed in the hands of
Banker Smith. This is sad, very sad,
for the Redwood workers have ferocious
appetites. and Senator Wasi,burn will
hardly feel like helping out candidate
who has no show.
Pity the poor Republican workers of
old Redwood. They are not in it this
trip.
