eyes Of the people.In front of the
OPNeills' headquarters is a most elaborate
transparency containing a list of candi-

Some of the Democratic candidates for
Assembly and CoroneIs have individual
placards announcing their candidacy
stuck up all over the trees and telegraph
poles over in the horseshoe.
In the outlying districts there are no
rransparencies worth speaking of. But
posters are thick as bees around an open
sugar barrel.
Many OF the candidates have selected
little round bits of paste-boards as an
advertising medium. They may be found
