claim that Mike is not on the square

OF their claim. They point out that

The, Republican race for the congress
slonal nomination in the new Seventh
district presents one Of the most ami
mated pictures in the annals of the
party, thanks to the primary election law
ard the reapp0rtionment by the last ses-

Until Volstead came into the fight hon

wood county into the Second district
where he could help along the congress

George w. Someryille. This scheme ap>
pealed neither to Bowling or McCleary.
