No Dismay in Lake County.

The republicans did their best through every device known to them to get a big vote at the recent Lake county primary. Accordingly it is no wonder they are making the most of the showing. The showing was engineered to be used as a talking point and so is to be expected that the opportunity will be used to the limit.

In the meantime, however, it is gratifying to report the Lake county progessives are not one particle dismayed. When confronted with the statement that they have been wiped out they merely grin. Apparently they have good basis for their grin too. For instance, a few nights ago in a little place in the southern part of Lake county a progressive meeting was held for the purpose of laying organization plans and doing the work preparatory to the coming campaign. At that meeting by actual count there were over two hundred present and the ardor and enthusiasm was of the same quality that characterized the Party at its birth.

As for the ticket selected by the progressives in Lake county it was or a remarkably high order. Progressives knew well in advance who the nominees were to be and they took the nominations by consent. 1 here is not a particle of reason for progressive dismay in Lake county. Lafayette Courier.
