A de- ! feat in one campaign only paves the j way for greater deeds of conquest in the next. Records are made that can ' never be olotted out, no matter how many defeats are incurred, i&ci* j successive deft at makes more ac-j quaiutances, whether or no they prove | loyal supporters. These acquaintances are excellent additions to a politician’s ! armour, and, whether they ever prove friends in need or not, can never be determined. Indications all point to ' an exciting race in Cherokee. I will | not at this time attemp- to discuss •any individual candidate, as many have announced and numbers are still on the fence, so far as having made a decision as to whether they yearn anxiously for the coveted position or not. The announcements of those in the race so far speak lor themselves, | and those still to enter will, of course, have announcements that, will have equal power of speech for ih can- i didates they represent; lienee ’twould b- a waste to dilate on the individual eandidates so early in the game, when nothing like a definite line can be had on the situation. The Ledger, al- wavs anxious to have the latest In the wav of newsy matter in any branch, will doubtless send a staff represent?five with the gav cam paigners /ho will report, their pranks and doings through the columns of this paper, endeavoring to present all authentic developments at once and 1 accurately.
