In the States of Indiana, North Caro-

the democrats have gained riore than
SIXTY THOUSAND votes since 1910
When we shall have received correct
returns from Alabama and Missouri the
Democratic gains will probably be SEW

brethren have done in those states alrea-

Polk and Dallas will be elected by much
