A killing frost fell on the mornin,

beans, potatoes and grapes. On tn

possible. The primary and Patterson
and all who go into the primary will
be ignored at the ballot box.
''Mrs. Grundy' butted in and free
shot at the mass meeting. The shot

Upon a careful and low estimate
place the opposition to Patterson about
two to one among the democrats.
There are some so-called republicans
that John Barleycorn has more infiu-
ence over than their republicanism
does, so we may count them for Pat
terson, which will add to his number
considerably. No true, genuine re-
publican will be swayed or influenced
by liquor. Then we have nearly as
many social democrats as there are of
both factions of the democrats, that

These men are not saying much. but
are watching developments as they
happen. Should they have no candi-
date for governor we can safely say

stand for. The Pattersonites, together
with their king, Ham, will find no
favor from Social Democrats for these
