suggestion that "Demoora tic voters con.

suggestion.
"Senator Hill, believe, suggested a
base ball bat as being peculiarly appro-
pirate to render justice to a corrupt cleo.

is for Democrats to be at the polls when
they are opened and to remain there in
good, strong relays until the count is

count and to see to it that no fraud is

Illinois would gain two, making her
