La Du bas developed into one of the strong- est candidates,for legislative honors in the 52nd district, and that, too not- with-standing Mr. McGarry’s uonip- vited candidacy. It was thought that possibly this might injury Mr. La Du’s chances, but reports from Koochich- ing, Carlton and Itasca, where Mr. La Du is at the. present time, show that the people in those counties are fully acyuainted with the circum- stances of Mr. McGarry's ‘butting in” and are everywhere extending him a conl greeting, while La Du is receiving the glad band at every turn. However the thing that is get- ting good support for La Du all over the district is his clear record and the fact that he is a man in every sence of the word.
