them that they are more than likely
to lose the State. Accordingly the
State Committee have issued several
bloodcurdling appeals to the Repub-

are preparing to flood the State with
money on election day and buy up
voters BY the thousand. In view of
the fact that the Democratic National
Committee confessedly have not
enough money to carry on the Iegiti-
mate work of the campaign as they
wish, while Senator Quay's interviews
with monopolists have been so sue
cessful that he has been able to waste
nearly 100000 in bets ON Harrison,
