Four tickets are in the field in this

chances are in favor of the regular
Democratic ticket although considera-
BILE scratching is being done.
No doubt is felt in Florida as to the
election of the entire state Democratic

the political parties are concerned
about being as to how large the Demo

wire confirming the report.
