both in this city and In the country,
and the man is in every way worthy
Of this splendid expression of good

days he waded through many hard
periods, but by courage, thrift and

candidate for the position, feeling that
he had given a sufficient amount of

affairs. Had he desired to do so he
could have been returned and con-

his work had gained for him the the
respect and confidence OF every voter
IN the district.

serving of the votes Of the whole
people than John Wallin, and particu-
