Until now the political complexion Of the town
was Of no great inportonce but the towns the
only places where there be vote and with state
hood coming when there will be great struggle for
the first control Of the state the preseut Demo-

thousands who have never allied themselves with any
political party the natural tendency 10 get into the

is this that has caused the Republicans to give orders
that every possible resource must be strained this
