D. S. Cincaire, who has been living
in Minneapolis the past winter, came
up last week and spent day with
Milhank friends, who were all glad to
see him. He is living with his daueh-
ter, Mrs. Robert Rawson He reports
that Mrs. Rawson who has been in
a serious condition for several months
is now improving.
Tuesday evening a number Of ladies
surprised Mrs. H. G. Port by a visit
to her home with well filled baskets
for lunch that was spread after a
few hours at cards.
Just, if none OF these accusations are
true, how comes it that so many
judges, so many of your fellow citi-
zens were so wrong and you alone
We're right?
1t is needless to say that these
questions were unanswered at the
close of the debate. but it shows how
utterly unthinkable would be the cleo
tion of such a man as Egan to the
