Well that settles his hash so far as
this part of the district is concerned.
And the matter is not so very much
bettered by Mr.. TONNES naive admis-
sion that he did it for pay. When he
was elected, and even when he was
trying to be elected again, he told us
that, though Democratic in his con-

And to lobby for free lumber at that!
Now if it had been free wool, or free
cotton, or some product that we are
not SO much interested in it might
have been. forgiven. But he knows
that free lumber would ruin this dis
trict, and still he asks it to elect him.
