pretty near every crime in the catalogue.
Ponca Journal: The fusion papers found
fault with Dietrich. republican candidate
for governor two years ago, because he
drank beer. Now they are finding fault
with J. H. Mickey. the present republican
candidate for governor, because he don't
drink beer. It's impossible to suit a fusion
paper anyway. SO there's no use trying.

rolling away to any great extent a. the
campaign, state and congressional, advances.

counted. Victory for the republican ticket
is In sight and should be kept in sight
until the election makes It certain.
