M. x. Geske for Congress.

Friends all over the district are bringA
ing out the name of M. X. Geske, Of
McGregor, as candidate for the Con-
gressional nomination in this district
and although Mr.. Geske at the
New Hampton conference last week,
stated that he was not a candidate for
any office, yet it is generally felt that
Mr.. Geske will heed and obey the party
if it calls upon him to lead the fight in
this district. Mr.. Geske made an excel>
lent impression upon his hearers by his
vigorous talk at New Hampton, and
everywhere could be heard the opinion
expressed that he had the personality
and ability that would make him most
successful candidate should he be called
upon to go before the people of the dis
trict in the capacity of the Democratic
congressional nominee.
