did not mention any names. The Other
candidates, however, think the speaker

them to the support of the voters. In
that way, they argue, Altgeld might
have effectually dlspelled the idea that
he Is opposed to the county slate. 9th
ers say that he could not mention one
without mentioning the whole fifty-fiye
men on the ticket.
