point there are few better posted
men than Mr.. Frewen. While devot
ing most of his time to other inter

as a duck does to water.
Wnile conversing on most ques

candidate. except he believes the al
most universal opinion prevails

says the state cannot do better. And
as for Mr. Hogg, ne is a general fav

be no question Of his election If nom
mated AS to candidates for state oil
fcers Mr.. Frewen says there will be
no lack of good material, and then
the prospects are splendid for victory
at the polls. He says there is gen
eral feeling of security throughout
the state and the Republican party is
given credit for this highly satisfact
ory condition and voters will not be
apt to follow strange gods. Teller

counted in the Republican ranks
