Quite political surprise, somewhat
in the nature of a sensation, was sprung
here by the announcement, freely made
bv warm friends Of EX-Mayor G. b.
Gibbons that he would be candidate
for Congress this fall from the Fourth
district at the Republican nominating
convention. Mr.. Gibbons deserves
better OF his party than he has ever
received, and while he stands no show
of being elected he is entitled to that
nomination or anything else he can get
from the Republican party. He has
beeD inundated on the altar OF his
partv's seldshness for many succeeding
camDaigns. lie il was who led the for
lorn hope in this Senatorial district In

almost unanimously elected. COL d. II.
