of Senator Rollins is not bright A good many Of

hope of his election. but from the present outlook
1T is safe to say that his candidacy Will not be pro-
longed much after Tuesday. The formal ballotng
will be resumed then and if Rollins fails to develop
greater strength his followers will begin to drop off
From trustworthy information it seems safe to pre-
dict that the bulk of the Rollins men, after is evil
dent that their man cannot be elected, will unite
with his opponents upon some one who is eDtabe
