Politically Mrs. Wissier is a Demo

ideally the choice of all parties. The
saloon question is dominant in Dayton.
Like most towns of it's class. Dayton
cowboys or sheep herders come in
from the lonely plains and decide to
wake things up. The control of such
turbulent spirits has vexed the better
class of citizens, and finally it was de-

better could not be wrought
