would come out of Hell's Bottom and Murder
Bay and re-elect Cook and Bowen.
NOT AFRAID OF THE RowDY ELEMENT.
Mr.. Norris said that he was not afraid of the
rowdy element at the convention, for there was
no element like the republicans have among

Washington were democrats He was In favor
OF the democracy coming here and electtng del
