neutrality-suspicious. .

The State Board of Canvassers have
met and declared Mr.. Reeder as the re
publican nominee by 486 majority.
Some of the would bes'' are urging
Mr. Ham to contest but he is nobody's
fool and will now hustle for the nomi-
nee and try again in 1910, his county
giving hi m nearly unanimous vote.
Outside of that county it was a good
natured contest except in this county,
where Harvey Penney carried it for
him by a handsome majority, and in
Ellsworth county, where both the OPP
posing papers now come out with fiat
tering notices.
The Wilson Echo says:-"Mr. VIM.
| inee for congress, He proves to be the
man whom the Republicans of this dis
trict desire to have represent them in
Washington. In him we have repre-
sentative who has always stood up tor
the west, and while many in this dis
trict would have preferred Mr.. Ham
yet Mr.. Reeder has always stood well
| In Congress, is honest and of unim-
peachable integrity and will again serve
the people faithfully and well''.
During the late primary campaign
the Ellsworth Reporter was very bitter
in its articles on congressman Reeder,
now it says:-"We opposed brother
Reeder. Reeder is the Republican can
! didafo for Copuroez For 4b;e oo10~o-
| sional district, and he will have our
hearty support as BELTS our standing
as loyal Republican. Mr.. Reeder has
been useful man in Washington fo1
this district, and no one who has writ
| ten to him to champion a just cause
has ever had any cause to complain OF
| his want of interest. The fact that
! Mr.. Reeder won his nomination this
year in spite of hard and worthy op-
! position, notwithstanding Mr. Reeder's
wide acquaintance and the support OF
| the Office holders under obligation tC
him, is proof that Mr.. Reeder is mar
of resource and ability, and this con.
gressional district realizes it and appre
ciates it,
In this county it would have beer
base ingratitude to have gone against
him. He has been the warmest kline
of supper ter of our State Institutions
on the Reservation and in Washington
did good work in helping our people Sc
cure the bonanza for years, while nc
old soldier, regardless of politics, ever
asked favor but what he did his best
promptly.
There is still room on the mourners
bench, in the front row, for some OF
the editors in the district. who car
slide in if they have repented.
