is in the field, and apparently is re-
ceiving the hearty support of all the
elements. In making up the ticket the
Republicans conceded everything TO
their allies. Thus the fusion candidates
for supreme justice are both Demo-
Gratis; the candidate for sheriff is the
leader of the Granite Cutters union.
and one of the candidates for city court
justice is single tax leader.
The Tsmmany county ticket is adj
mitted to be strong one. but does not
appeal so effectively to the labor eIe-

On the other hand, Mr. Goebel has
had the support of a well organized

Democratic national committee and the
active assistance of several of the ma
