years has there been such spirited
struggle in the district for public Office
as has been going on down there for The
past two months Indeed, at some
stages there has been considerable bit

has been between Messrs. LaWless ana

best of personal ant. political friends. DR..
Bryant has been throwing bouquets at
both, and his friends say the even tenn
per of his canvass has made him many
friends in the ranks of the following OF

that Dr. Bryant is a. powerful factor in
the race, and there are those who would
not be in the least surprised should he
bear away the palm.

Messrs. Lawless and MAYNARD are stoutly
