CONCOkD, N. H., FeD 20, 1919.
The political campaign in New Hampshire is always
one OF importance and interest but this year 1t is
one OF more than usual significance. The leaders
and followers ur both parties nave been for some
time arranging and organizing for success, and this
week the struggle between them has commenced
with an earnestness characteristic only Of fierce
political contest. Last year the democrats
completely vanquished the party Of the
national administration and now the
eve OF Presidential election they are
determined 10 hold on to the balance or power with
a grip more firm and tenacious than ever, and thus
set an example which they hope will stimulate
democratic enthusiasm all over the country. To

Among those on the republican side already In the
field are Senators Wilson and Patterson and num-

General Sickles and General Fitzpatrick Will appear.
