row. He called at tho DemocratiesCSn1
gressional campaign headquarters, and
had long talk with senator Faulkner.
When asked as to the condition OF at

trict, General Watts said there was no
doubt of the ability OF the Democrats to
re-eloct Congressman Anderson II they
would organize thoroughly and work as
the Republicans were working. The
only danger TO the party
In the district lay In over
confidence in its own strength and un-
derestimating the strength aud activity
OF the Republicans. There was good
deal OF dissatisfaction among the Re-
publicans with their candidate for Con-
gress, but the Democrats would make
fatal mistake II they relied on this FOR
success The Republican organization
was thorough. alert, active. and we'll

Gratis should see to 1t that their cam
