IN EW men Of modern tines have

poetic tributes than has Abra.

thing about the homely, heroic figure
that seemed to call forth rhythmical
praise. This may have been due TO the
fact that Lincoln himself was a poet

Guttersen's Safe Lead in
Faribault County.
Mr.. M'ClEARY Is DONE FOR.
Speeches He Delivered at Several
!, Points Were Not to the Liking Of
The People.

Wells, Sept. 9.-Two years ago James
T. McCleary was given majority of
SSl in Faribault county over H. c.
Miller, his opponent for the congressional
nomination. This year a change will be
made in that vote Gilbert Guttersen
will carry this county by a substantial
majority This assertion is made upon
the opinion of men who are well posted
on the political situation-men who have
made a close study of the contest that
is now on between Messrs. Guttersen
and McCleary. There has been re-
markable change in sentiment. Tariff
revision is the watchword Personal
friends of the representative are free to
admit that Mr.. McCleary's views on the
tariff question do not meet with those
of the mass of, the people. 1t is not
personal matter with the voters, but
it is one of principle. They do not
favor standpattism as enunciated by the
congressman from the second district.
Men who have high regard for Mr..
McCleary as man are openly opposed
