rumpus this year than was ever before seen In
| an OF year. Strange as It may seem, the
| registration throughout tho State is larger as

issues When tho time was ripe they imported
Tom Reed and Congressman Dalzell OF Penn

tariff issues got such prominence that tho
D6mOcrata forced to fight tne butte n n
