is hoped to make Captain Howard J.

nicnt. colonel of the merged Third and
Fourth regiments. In military circles
throughout the state considerable litter-
est has been excited by the canvass for

a deal may be fixed up with the corti-
panies at the east end of the state
whereby Captain llloincr will receive
the support necessary to elect him. He-
sides a colonel. It will be necessary to
elect three majors for the fused regiv
nieiits. It is intimated that the deal1
by which (‘aptain liloomcr might gain
the colonclcy would hinge on the elec-
tion of these majors. one of whom
would probably come from the eastern
end of the state. .
“As it is constituted now. the fused.
Third and Fotirth regiment is compos
cd of twelve companies. Seven of these
are from the old Fourth. and five arei
from the Third. It is estimated thail
