The Republican club held another
fine meeting tonight. The speaker
was VIM. N. Plymat, of Mankato, and
he was interesting and instructive
as he always is. The activity among
the Republicans of Madison Lake is
something their Democratic friends
never saw before, and is somewhat
disconcerting to them. More interest
is being taken and a better campaign
made in this corner of the county than
has ever been done by the g. O. P.
before, and the good work will bear
fruit Nov. 10Th. Practically all the
here will vote straight, as
there is no earthly reason for scratch
ing the ticket at any point. Van SAINT
and McCleary will get the full vote of
the party and little more, and the
legislative ticket will not
be cut in Madison Lake and James
town. Next Wednesday evening will
see another good meeting held by the
club, and then we will be ready to
vote.
The Democratic club will hold forth
