plurality all the way from %, 600 te
40, 600. Below are some opinions from
men of all parties secured by reporters
of the PRESS:
/. State Senator George M. Seiders said
predict Republican plurality of not
less than 10000. The conditions do not
warrant figuring it at any less than that.
Two years ago many Disguised Demo
Gratis stayed at home. The Republican
vote in that election was only about an
average one, and our plurality was
80, 600. This year there is certainly
just as much reason for the Democrats
to remain at home as there was two years
ago. Many Democrats will cast their
votes for the Republican candidates fol
governor and congressman, and many
others will vote for MIR. Clifford, the
nominee of the gold Democrats. We can
certainly count on getting out the full
Republican vote.
