They clash frequently, almost ev-
cry time Mr.. Dill visits the Third
Dist, the republican stronghold,
where the democratic senator is
seeking to strengthen himself. Just
a few days ago they had a mild
clash at farmers picnic in Grays

whenever Mr.. Dill approaches the
Third district.
Republican opponents of Gov.
Hartley are pretty much up in the

or a way to defeat him.
