man Moses as follows: I'm my county, :"
said Mr. Moses during one of these con-
yersations about political matters, I'VE
confidently expect TO give the state ticket
1,2OO majority. All of the upper end of
the district will give democracy a good
majority. The talk about Carroll county
being carried by the populists is un-
founded and without truth. In a demo-
cratic primary held in that county a few
days ago, there were 2, 100 votes polled.
The county seldom polls more than $500
votes In general election. The outlook
for democratic success is very hopeful
