reply, instantly and decisive. to the lieu
tenants awaiting the orders of their chiefs.
Vigilance, the keenest, is maintained
and will be maintained until the campaign
that Is now nearing Its close by'hourly
steps has ended.
The work by the Democratic national
committee during the remaining three days
of the campaign will be chiefly in the States
of Connecticut, West Virginia, Indiana,
Alabama and Virginia. Instructions have
been sent out from Democratic headqusr-
tiers to the chairmen OF the State
committees in all these States warning
them To be on the alert and not to
