Commercial travellers and parties
who have had business that took
them through the FIRST District, re-
port the congressional situation as
somewhat mixed, but the general
opinion seems to be that the fight is
between Page and Foster, with the
chances much in favor of the former.
Powers appears to have very little
strength anywhere. The other cam
didates have only mild sort of local

have influence in the higher interest
