the most part new men, but tho Independent
Democrats who have been to SEQ them, hoping
to secure a nomination In the old-tme way. re-
port that they are all % the same old material,
dumbly woting for some word from tho Boss's
residence in willoughby street. Thoy do not
know whom they arc to shout for on Tuesday
in the conventions any more than the puppets

delegations will be instructed In season TO give

TO pronounce tho names of tho Boss's candi-
dates correctly.
