Mr. Bryan is 1 second, and Wilson has dropped to third place. Governor Marshall is fourth, but is coming good. Wilson’s temporary lead seems to have passed when the voters over the state took a ' hand. Republican State Chairman Lee has quit the race for re-election. In doing , so he belches forth the following: “It is apparent, that, through the use of patronage, tne tatt administration will be able to prevent my re-election as chairman of the republican state committee; for I have no patronage nor any other resources at my command, except the good will of the rank and file. I, therstoTi, withdraw as a candidate for chairman. This in no way changes my opinion that Mr. Taft cannot carry this state. My statement to that effect was made solely for the good of the party; and the e- idence that has come to me from every county in the state, before and since, convinces me beyond all question, that I was, and am absolutely right.” Well, we’re sure going to put on our spring clothes one of these days. The county council showed a progressive spirit that is most commendable, when they appropriated SI,OOO for electric lights about the court house and in front of the jail and the SIOO for the new fountain on Court street. Ail these things help. When the merchants complete the string of lights in the down-town district and the city, which also deserves due credit for the proposal to furnish free current, has completed the installing of the new lights all ove r town, we will be the best lighted city in the state. Then, there is our handsome new fire wagon, and a concrete bridge, and so many other tilings that proves we are awake
