to be their candidate for Representative
in Congress this year, and in Difference
to the request Mr.. Evans consented
There is no prospect that any other

before the Fourth District Democrats
at the primary, June 5th, hence he may
be considered, from this time forth,
the opponent of Congressman Haugen.
The honor that has come to Mr.. Evans
is apparently somewhat empty, yet it
is real honor nevertheless, and
deserved one. Mr. Evans, as success
full business man, lifelong and untir
ing Democratic worker, and man of
the highest personal character, is en-
titled to the best that his party associ-
ates have to offer. He has done local
organization work, made speeches,
managed campaigns, been conscripted
for forlorn-hope candidates., and in
general has been about as serviceable a
Democratic worker as can be found in
all the ten counties of the District.
He has been twice the nominee for the
Legislature, running we'll ahead of his
ticket, and at present is Chairman of
the Fayette County Committee of his
party. He has been allied with the
progressive and the dry" elements of
of his party, was an original Wilson
man, and has as a candidate and man
ager always carried on his political work
in a fair, honorable, straightforward
way, on high level of political moral
ity. He is one of West Unions most
valuable citizens, standing for progress
and liberality at all times. If by any
unexpected chance he should follow IN
the footsteps of L. L. Ainsworth,
William E. Fuller and Walter H. Butler
as the fourth Congressman that West
Union has furnished to the District, no
resident of this city will be ashamed of
having such fellow townsman in the
national Legislature. West Union Argo.
