The Valley Falls New Era, published

week with a big boost for Dan An

From all the indications thus far it
looks as though Congressman Dan An
thony was going to have practically no
opposition in his race for denomination
to congress from this district The
the various precinct committeeman
have been returned promptly all filled
up and in practically every case the
committeeman say that there were
many more wanted to sign than the
law permitted. Even in Shawnee

is call for more petitionS-as the
voters there want to go on record
I'm this county notwithstanding the
claim made by Mr.. McNeal there is no
question but that Mr.. Anthony will have
a good big majority of the Republican
votes at the primary Just what the
Democrats will do remains to be seen,
but surely no Republican who believes
in party government will countenance
order to tear down man who has done
more for the First district than any
other congressman ever did during his
first term and who is Just now in the
best possible situation to do still more. |
That he has made some mistakes the
best friends of Dan Anthony vii. not |
deny; but does any one think for |
moment that Tom McNeal or any other |
man in a similar position would make |
none.
THE farmers of this district who |
are now getting, so to 60 cents for |
their corn, to cents for their cat |
tie and to 10 cents for their hogs |
are not anxious to take up with the |
free trade notions of Mr.. McNeal, nor |
with his idea of hauling down the |
flag on our island possessions and |
skeedaddling like a bad boy caught |
stealing apples in a neighbours or
chard."
