to hear that Hon. E. E. Lobeck seems
to be the favorite Of the candidates

around here expressed their desire
to vote for Mr.. Townsend but now
some of the same voters l have talk
ed to consider him out of the race and
will vote for Mr.. Lobeck.
About a half hour ago Mr.. Volstead
came into one of the stores here and
shook hands with the merchant, a
shoe salesman (who by the way is
Republican and well acquainted in the
Seventh District), and myself. Az
ter Mr. Volstead left the store the
merchant remarked, "He realizes he's
got a hard fight all right and you can
tell he felt that he's going to lose
all right" The shoe salesman re-
marked, eyes, you bet he's got fight
on" Their opinions were to the ef-
feet that Mr.. LObeck will win.
The towns from Morris to Browns
Valley were recently ridded of their
saloons. In Graceville, Chokio and
every town l have made along this
line see pictures of Lobeck in stores
on telephone poles, etc. The Lobeck
cards have hung in stores in this
