their coat lapels. When asked by
a NEWS representative If he would

Bernard M. Cannon, of this city,

cerned, II he wants it, as the feelings
along that line yesterday were
stronger than ever. AS Mr. Cannon
boarded the boat on the return trip
three cheers for "the next county
clerk we're given. Mr.. Gannon's
friends are urging him to accept and

DR.. Ramsay for Assembly
1t seems to be the general opinion
that Dr.. William E. Ramsay, of this
city, should be given another oppor-
tunity to run for the assembly, and
his friends declare that 1t is due him
on account of his excellent former
runs. Dr. Ramsay some time ago
stated that If the party wanted him
to run he could not do other than
