front rooms and clerks in back rooms
ana they were all busy with what Iarl
sciIurz would call culturkampr. Mr..
Gardner said that there was a vast demand
for this kind OF culture and that large
quantities of literature were being sent
Out 10 the Congressional Districts.
Further than thls 81 altering far and near

There is a distinct impression gathered
fipm the heated brows of the workers
in the jefferson studio that they VIII soon
have the handsomest qua rtersin Washington
and they say tfat IL VIZ be at Worn.ley's,
where the s:aff and line will be accom- o.

The demand for campaign literature is
also reported to be very large at Republic
