State ticket will win. and the national
ticket will win II the fight Is pushed as
1t Is now being pushed to the day Of
election. and u number Of competent
speakers are sent into II.
"From Kansas came back TO ILL.,

There Is no doubt about the result In
Illinois: IL is only u question whether

Minnesota beyond. and with fair
chances to carry Nebraska and Kansas.
and. I suppose. the Dakotas.

Fellow Citizens: The labOring men
and mechanics. the salesmen and the
pOrters are not the only ones seeking
information on the money question. and
endeavoring To lind out how change
