OUTLOOK IN
MORGAN COUNTY THUS FAR

Decatur, June So.--(special) This
county is going to be excellent fighting
grounds for the five candidates for gov
ernor. AS yet one hears but little of the
gubernatorial race. Not a speech has
been delivered in the county.
From what can be learned at this time
1t would seem that Kolb and Conner are
the strongest of the five candidates for
governor, although the people of this
county are open to conviction. Many of
the country people are for Conner, while
kolb also has a strong following in the
rural districts. The prohibitionists seem
to be divided between Conner and Seed.
The conservative voters and the bushes
men are either for kolb or Henderson.
Many bushes men will not support CO.
mer on account of his expensive railroad
legislation, which they believe has ac-
complished but little or nothing for the
state. AS this is Wallaces home part of
the state he will get some votes in this
