Col. c. c. Pratt, by his dignified,
gentlemanly canvass, is making votes
wherever he goes. His clean cut
character as a man, his quiet, earnest
work during his first term in Con-
gress during which he secured one
more pension for the old soldiers
than George w. Kipp did, although
the latter proclaimed his achieve
ments in this line from the house
top, has won for Pratt the support
of the G. A. r. The only charge
that can be brought against Pratt is
that he voted faithfully with his par
ty and thereby secured protection
for the farmer and workingman. To
do this Is a crime in the estimation
of the Free Trade Democrats. Pratt's
election is assured, as everyday evil
dence is being received of his grow
ing popularity. Republicans, Inde-
pendents and Democrats realize that
he will make a safe and sane repre-
sentative.
