Opposition. 1t is suggested in some
quarters that former Deputy County

the last fight, a good many are in

c. Halona, of the Fighting Seventh,
is canvassing for candidacy as Rep
resentative, and from the Fourth two
new names have been heard, those of
Robert Shingle and E. j. Lord, both
for the House.

The Saturday convention had been put
over for few days and that the Dem
