started the NUGGET out to interview
our Leading business men, with the fol-
lowing results:
Anthony Brooks-My personal pref
erence is for Shoupi but as it now stands
/ feel that am committed to some ex-
tent to for Sweet. Having inferred De-
fore the late election that Shoup was
moi out as candidate, | solicited votes
for Messrs. Dewey and Bennett, using
the argument that a vote for them meant
a vote for Sweet for Senator. If any
persons " HON l have Influenced to vote
4 for the above candidates have pref
eranee for Sweet feel that it would
scarcely be fair to them were now to
endorse Shoup and ask our Senator and
Representative to support him.

man that can accomplish more for Ida
no in the o, S. Senate than any other

of ninety per cent of the republican
voters in Pleasant Valley.
