It was during the remark of Thompson that the purported policy of the democratic party In the present campaign was outlined.

He, told the caucus that McN'utt, should he be the republican nominee, would hare no opposition from the democrats' by reason of his unqualified stand on the lighting Question. However, he -said.

FAIL TO FIND TWO DROWNING VICTIMS The- bodies of two recent victims of the Mississippi here are still Immersed under the ice Of the river, neither has been recovered and fishermen are loath to make an attempt to locate the remains, it is said.

A.Teward for the body of Richard Ludke, button cutter, presumably drowned near Geneva Island Dec. 8, has be.en standing for several weeks. So far ri verm en have made no attempt to find the body. The remains of James Spratter. Blanchard Island resident, drowned last weak, have not been locate "and no dragging has been done, according to residents of the Maple Grove road near the scene of the drowning.

Fishermen express the belief that the body of Spratter would not be difficult to locate were it not for the ice sheet which still spans the river at the point where hi broke through and drowned. The body of Ludke. however, will probably not be located until the ice leaves the river and the body rises to the. -'surface, they claim. It is not known exaotly where the victim broke through the ice- 1 One hundred fifty-five new machines, just arrived.
