To Make Determined Stand.
The most earnest and bitter opDO-
nents to Mr. Stephenson viii make
determined stand today to prevent the I
success of the Marinette man. Tele-
grams have been sent to their absent
col eagues Il. appear today by all
means, and these messages have been
sent even to democrats who are said
to be available when wanted. Some
men late last nt1ht eI-
pressed the opinion that he would be
elected this noon without the Formally
Of completing republican nomination.
This s not believed TO be probable, /
however. but tonight's caucus will !
bring the victory to Mr.. Stephenson
or there will be a most unexpected sur
prise.
