A crowd of young Republicans dis
cussing the congressional situation as
to what the outcome of it will be in
the election in 1914, were of the
opinion that a Republican could win
if the two factions are. disposed to
come together. Ed Sample, the young
Republican of Osborne county, was
the most talked of. With him in the
race the young crowd would rally
around him. He served his county as
county attorney, and made good. If
he is nominated for congress he will
be a vote getter.
