Times comes out decidedly this
morning, almost for the first time,
for the Republican ticket, saying:
We have already called attention
to the great Importance of decid

in this State-a victory not for the
head of the State ticket alone, or
even for the whole of the State
ticket, but for this and for the
Legislative candidates as well. We
are not willing to concede that the
election this Fall derives its i'm

of grave concern to the people of
this State that the administration
of the State Government should be
placed in the hands of the Repub-
lican party rather than in those OF
the Democratic.
