duct the campaign. The primary elec-
tion for choosing delegates to the sew
eral conventions will be held next Tues

Though love in a cottage be sweet;

Where Jewels of God are sparkle,
And Nature IS home, sweet home.

Though love in the city be smart,
For canons of stone. brick and mortar
Keep crowding the light from my heart
While out in the glow of Gods sunshine,

Though love in the desert Toe wild.

The Montgomery advertiser., 1904-03-17
(Communicated.) Congressman A. A. Wiley.

The Courant has never been a partisan In Its political views and has never yet espoused the cause of any individual where district political matters were con cerned. but we feel 1t our duty to the good people of this section to say that The Courant is in favor of the reelection Of Congressman A. A. Wiley, and is very heartily in favor of it.
 Our reason for saying this Is because of our knowledge of the distinguished career Colonel Wiley Is making as a Congress man and because of the faithful services to the people of the State of Alabama. He Is man of brilliant attainments, great ability; wonderful energy; and rip ened by years of experience In public matters he Is easily one of the most in- fuential men in Congress In season and out of season he has been at his post of duty, has met every demand made upon him by the people and he now asks al their hands a commendatlon of his course. With all due respect to the am bition and ability of Hon. Bibb Graves, who is to oppose him, The Courant de- sires to say that we favor the reelection of Colonel Wiley. which we confidently expect. and as far as Conecuh County Is concerned we believe 1t will give a practically unanimous support to Colonel Wiley.
