Hon Tracy L Jeffords. Republican
candidate for State Senator. spoke in the
court house at this place on Wednesday
night last. Mr. Jeffords is clean. inter
esting speaker, and as he says, has no
mud to sling. OF course III this instance
he had an uphill job and failed to con-
vince any of his hearers of opposite po-
litics that they ought to vote for Judge
Taft or any one else on his ticket The
fact is. according to his own logic, he
should as Jefferson county voter be
supporting the Democratic ticket from
Alpha to Omego.

most popular and substantial citizen in

Mr.. Montague enjoys a wide circle

former years as alderman from the

to be contingent upon the stopping OF
