candidates for the honor Of being dele
gate TO the republican convention at ST.

fairs less than thirty hours before the polls
were to open, and search beneath 1t could
discover nothing tangible upon which to
base q more Intelligent cast of the Situa-

quiet work along the line of what Is pop
ularly known as practical politics was be-
ing prepared, and that the confidence of
some of the candidates Representatives was
largely based upon their expectations over
TIE outcome of such arrangements.
