who are to make the trip is proof
positive that everybody is for the
Dickinson lawyer for Congress. There

finger County Herald said editorially:
What Papers Say.
Senator l.. A. Simpson of Dickin-
son spent several hours in New Eng
land last Friday evening. The genial
. gentleman was doing a little cam
paigning and a whole lot of visiting
among his many friends in this town.
Senator Simpson is just starting his
campaign for congressman from this
district and is more than pleased with
the support that is being cheerfully
rendered in behalf of his candidacy.
Hettinger county was one of Senator
Simpsons strongholds Two years ago
when there were five candidates in
the field and the second choice clause
to contend with. This year finds an
altogether different state of affairs.
There is no second choice clause and
only one Second choice" candidate to
60 up against so the senator has
every good reason to be confident of
landing the nomination and election
in 1914. His friends feel that he was
a victim of the vicious second choice
clause two years ago and they are
out in full force to make his majority
of first-class, first-choice votes at the
coming primaries a regular rip-tail
shorter.
