and Agree to Drop Suit Tuesday
Night.

The big splurge about the cOntesting
of Sweeley's election as state senator
on the part of few Of the Democrats,
passed away like the snow under the
Chinook, and left exposed the bare at
tempt at sensation hawking on the
part of few disgruntled men in the
county. Late Tuesday afternoon, by
mutual agreement, Chairman G. D.
Thomas of the Republican county COM
mittee, and A. S. Baty, chairman of the
Democratic county organization, ap-
peared before the clerk Of the district
court and asked for the withdrawal
of the contest suits filed against Mr..
Sweeley and Mr.. Dyer. The papers
were issued and the bald attempt at
creating a sensation died peaceful
death.
The whole affair seems to have been
taken up on the spur of the moment by
few men of the Democratic party,
who on Monday night at eight o'clock
filed papers with the court officer ask
ing that the action of the counting
board be set aside and the recount
made with regard to the vote on the
state senator The action was cOnsid
cradle of surprise to the Republicans
and for the moment caught them nap
suit was filed contesting the election
of C. w. Dyer, the only successful can
didate on the Democratic side.
The result of this counter suit was
effective and after some hurried work
on the part of the conservative ele-
ment of the Democracy the below
agreements were filed, quashing both
suits
