Join Republican Ranks. WYMORE, Neb, Sept. 25.—(Special.)— Politics 18 warming up in this section of Nebraska and the more politics is talked the more evident it becomes that many demo- crats are to be numbered with the repub- licans this year. Men who have always been strong workers in the democratic and fusion ranks and who said but little efther | way early in the campaign are now coming out for the prosperity party. Many of them will vote the ticket from McKinley down but a much greater number, so many in| fact that it is hard to believe, will vote for Dietrich, It is almost impossible to find a democrat or fusionist who has a good word for Poynter, and if Gage county is any eri- terion the Hastings man will be elected governor by a handsome mefority. He I3 looked upon by the people here as a man of men and one who will make a governor for whom the people of Nebraska will have a teeling of pride. The Arbor State, the lead- ing fusion paper of this ceunty, is not sup porting Poynter, and it is given out on good authority that its editor, Colonel J. R Dodds, will vote for Dletrich. There is also considerable apprehension felt by democrat of this district on account of the fact that the populists refused to indorse Stark and It is feared that the populist candidate will poll enough votes to defeat the Aurora man.
