earnestness and thoroughness with which
he entered into the subject.
The Second district being called, Mr.
J. F. c. Talbot went thoroughly over the
field of his Congressional territory, and
while admitting there has been some OPP

up an old time majority.
Mr.. Charles E. Fink, who contested for
the nomination with Mr.. Talbot, was
present and assured both Mr.. Talbot and
the State managers that he would do all
in his power to elect Mr.. Talbot, and he
