elected term after term, because he was
popular with the voters of all parties Then
came DR.. Whitcomb, ST. Paul boy, whose
acquaintance is so wide that he has been
twice chosen to the office. Both times he

strong in social organizations. He is also
member of the Sons of the American Rev

the citizens of the county, and it was be-
cause of his personal popularity, and the
fact that hundreds of Republican voters
have assured him of their support this year,
that he consented to run for a third term.
