been that workingmen are becoming
better informed upon subjects in gen.

great subjects pertaining to labor.
There are many causes which have
aided and are still aiding in bringing
about these improved conditions. One
OF the most prominent reasons for this
advancement Is the fact that influenti-

Hampton, Aug. 9.-The political con-

ment Of late on account of rumors ir
circulation in regard to Congressman
BirdsalPS successor. /. a. Nichols, edi-
tor OF the Iowa Falls Citizen, says
Blythe, Hunter and Ed Knott have q
scheme on foot to defeat Birdsall wher
he comes up again for denomination
Nichols says that while Blythe and
Hunter are the men who are really be-
hind the plan. that Ed Knott, OF Wav-
erly, has been retained to do the work
and that Burton E. Sweet is the man
they have chosen to succeer Bird
sail. He says that people in the Third
district are tired of Knottism and have
had enough of his guardianship. In
an editorial recently published in his
paper he censures them all severely,
and says they are doing all they can
to defeat Birdsall.
Prominent politicians Of this part Of
the district say that they have heard
of no such plan, and Thomas w. Pur-
cell, editor OF the Hampton Chronicle.
says that there is nothing to the story.
He says that Ed Knott will be can

been warm friend and an ardent sup
porter of Birdsalrs, having been one of
his main supporters when Birdsall was
nominated to succeed Congressman
Henderson Mr.. Purcell says that he
does not think Birdsall will have any
opposition for denomination, and that
the people of the third district are too
well satisfied with Birdsall to attempt
to defeat him for his next nomination.
