SPOKE WITHOUT AUTHORITY.
Politicians Talk of Mr.. McCIeary Two
Years Hence.

A certain ambitious gentleman
happened to be at Window on
business at the time of the recent
county fair. Two or three gentlemen
who have for years opposed Congress
man McCleary availed themselves of
the opportunity to mention" the
aforesaid ambitious gentleman for
congressman two years from now.
Mr.. McCleary is very strong at Win
dom and always has been. the Repub-
licans of the town and surrounding
country being practically unanimous
for nim. So these gentlemen who at
tempted to inject into this campaign
matters that should not be considered
at this time were taken to task by the
Republicans generally. In making ex-
cuse for their ill-advised action, they
said that they understood that Mr..
McCleary would not be candidate
for congress two years from now. "
This is evidently case where the
wish is father to the thought. Having
tried many times to defeat Mr.. Nc
Cleary they have now reached the
point where they can only hope that
he will Voluntarily withdraw. 1t il
safe to say that they had no authority
from Mr.. McCleary to make any such
statement. Having reached almost to
the top of the most powerful commit
tee in the house, a position never be-
fore attained by representative from
Minnesota, it is not likely that Mr..
Met leary will, at the time when he
has attained to such position Of use.
