The next struggle that will interest
the people OF the state will be the CON
test for the senatOrship. We favor the
return Of Senator Dubois. He has COM

The State WooIgrowers Association
has under consideration tile adyisability
of sending representatives TO Washing
ton to lobby in the interests Of wool
tariff during the next session OF congress.
