said when asked what he considered

they will work just as hard to secure
victory for the Republican ticket on

Those who visited the headquarters
were very enthusiastic over the pros

Republicans in all parts of the city have
beceme more hopeful, and now
expect to elect their candidate for mayor

been known TO do such things before it

with knives In their belts when they
go TO the polls. These men are

but he won't have the support Of the men
who believe McNally was ruthlcssly
