". nominated for Congress by the anti
Lamb Republican faction. is q great

one else. he says. But Col. Dyer, at the
same time is confident that he Is Just
as good a man as Mr.. Wise, the Lamb
candidate. and that the cause he repre-
sents is Just as just. Consequently
Col. Over In all human proba bility, and
certainly so far as his own expecta-
lions are concerned, will remain In the

will agree to come down the anti-Lamb

thing for the sake of party harmony.

dose that Mr.. Wise stands as much in
need Of as he does.

ference may result in the much desired
