COME ONE, COME ALL.

Where the dodger came from was
mystery and this added to the interest
but the general effect seems to have
been to stir the Stanton men to great
er activity and they are straining
every nerve to get out all their
strength.
There is q strong undercurrent In
town for Prouty but 1t lacks direction.
The outlook in this county IL that
Stanton will have considerable ma
jority but not as many as was figured
few days ago. The county has AZ
delegates and Stanton will do we'll to
get much over 80 Of them as Prouty
seems assured of IL to Is.
The reports from other counties In
dictate that the Prouty organization
and work has overcome StantOn's
initial lead and that the situation as q
whole is favorable to Prouty.
