The governor himself has taken no hand in
the affair. 1t makes no difference as far as
he is personally Concerned, for his renomina

The vote on the proposition will also draw the
line between the .'sheep and the goats.' /

combination between Dunn for governor and
Jacobson for auditor. The only shadow of

discussing the difficulties of representing this
city when he had to look after it's Interests

insurgents" on the Cuban bill He took the
position that to admit Cuban sugar duty
free would not change the price here. =
The whole Cuban sugar crop added to the
American. beet sugar output would still be
inadequate to meet the local demand and large
quantities must be imported from Europe at
the Hamburg price. For: that reason, the
american beet sugar, producers would enjoy
protection just as much after the Cuban stock

down a peg: and will be willing to accept
the state senatorship, which seems to be
