candindate who had been bush whack-
ing, to use a popular word all the
spring and who had spent over 1920
in such visiting through this large
county said the whole outfit would

added that it meant that now n in
future the canvass would really be be-
fore the primaries, and the plan is by
no means a bad me. The people very
