son and that Theodore KnatYold, the
county boss, had thought for a time
that he had John L. Gibbs seated in
the sunny corner of the state house
But it was not to be so, and there are
a lot of people in Freeborn county who
do not especially care now whether
Eustis is elected or not.
William Henry was a picture of de,

tragically exclaimed, In sepulchral tones
from which had vanished his usual
suavity:
Where will it ever end? Is there
no one on the ticket who can carry

Smith, you know, such a pretty name
don't you think Lyndon tells me that
Renville county will return a Repub-

ticket but me. TOwne threatens to take
OI- LOUIS county away from me, and
Judge Lewis writes me that it's close.

William Henry's eyes frightened. He
read:

How did Mile Laos vote last time ?''
