The two campaign parties are NOV
ing over the lower portion Of the
State very quietly. So far the people
are taking very little interest in the
meetings and the attendance is small.
The farmers especially are too busy
attending to their crops now, and arc
more concerned about them than they
are interested in long. dry speeches.
Then. too, there arc no issues as all Of
the candidates stand practically on
the same platform.
