COMBINING AGAINST COOK COUNTY

There Is n disposition among our b,l,
collie friends down the State to com.
blne against Cook County for the pur.
pose of denying her the right she
claims. namely, the next SenatOrship.
We are NOT surprised ut this. Our hay
seed friends on both sides of the po.
litical fence may always he relied upon
to ,o just the wrong thing at the pro.
per time.
They say Chicago and Cook County
has the votes, but the country roll up
the majorities. Fifty thousand ma
jority or so doesn't count for much In
these gentlemen's eyes. They say half
Cook Countys vote IL Democratic.
Well, suppose So Let us suppose also
that the Republican half was not ON
the right side In some State election,
where would the rest of the State he !
For the sake of the Democratic party
in Chicago, It Is TO be hoped the grang-
ers will combine against Cook County
in Tie Senatorial fight.
