Tho Third district has "a Democratic majority

district last year. cut down tho Democratic
majority one-half. and Dennis Dunn. County
Democrat. whose organization claims for him
q support OF not less than 200.
Muchless doubtful list district. which
has an assured Democratic majority OF 3. 900.
but the Eleventh Assembly district Is another
doubtful one. 1t Gnvo lassett last year-
that Is, lo received in tho same territory
u majority Of 145 votes. In this district the
Democrats have nominated Pcrcival Farquhar,
who last year represented the Third district.
With two Democrats running. as there are
this year. this district would probably be lie.

the Republican machine is deplorably out Of

in tho field. and they do not enter into tho
calculations Of politicians on either side.
The Seventeenth district Inns u Demo.

There will be IA hot fight in both districts. but
rs both candidates Tor tho Assembly are
Democrats. there is no possibility OF the re-
turn OF II Republican mcnDc from either.

OF 1000. tho twentieth n Democratic mai ority
