Will Probably Withdraw.
1t is though by those connected with
the guard in this city that at the next
election the contest will have narrow
ed down to at most three candidates,
and it is possible that both Smeenk
of Muscatine and Kennedy of Newton,
will withdraw, leaving only Captains
Wetherell of Oskaloosa and Haynes OF
Centeryille. In Ottumwa there seems
to be majority of the members of the
company who are favorable to Wether-
ell and they have consistently support
ed him during each of the elections.
Haynes of Centerville has also receiv-
ed considerable support from the OF
tumwa acrs. mostly among the men,
>bers. of the bard.
