CONGRESSMAN SIMS HAS
BRIGHTEST PROSPECT.


During the whole period of his
long, honorable and useful career as
a member of congress of the United
States, Hon. T. w. Sims has never
had more positive assurance of big
majority over his opponent than he
has now.
The attempted sarcasm or irony
of Judge S. j. Everett, who is oppo-
sing Mr.. Sims, in the Judges answer
to Mr.. Sims declination of joint
discussion, fell flat, of course, and
left the congressman stronger than he
was before he was challenged to
abandon his post of duty and come
down to the district to defend a
record that needs no defense.
If Judge Everett were really wise
enough to go to congress, he would
now be wise enough to get off the
track, for the whistle is blowing and
the bell ringing and if the Judge
does not change his position before
August /, the Democratic cowcatcher
is going to hit him with "dull, sick
ening thud," and perhaps permanent
ly disable him, Verbin Sat Sapienti,

do, let your savings help fight them.
