which ia causing the groaust amount
of dsbate and speculatlo nat the

"Suppose Whedbee refuses . ta

$01 don't know of any. . Whedbee
is unquestionably the strongest man
there is and if he refuse* to enter
into the race I don't believe any
other .man in the district will consent
/to haye his name put up as a candi
