SEVENTH DISTRICT FIGHT.

The Seventh District Congress- ional contest has some very pe- culiar features.
 Mr. Wallace and his friends are claiming the nomination, while Mr. Goodwin claims that there have been high landed proceedings in denying him an office for which he received a clean-cut majority
 It is not d question or should not be, of committee rules or the possession of a certificate of nom ination, but WHO GOT THE MOST VOTES?
 This is the only Democratic way to settle it, the only way that measures up to the standard set by justice and party integ- rity.
 Vigorous charge and counter charge are being made and the outsider is not prepared to pass judicial judgment upon the ease.
