senate and house. There are seven mem
bers of the legislature from this county
and the Republicans are making a de-
termined fight to elect their legislative
ticket, and thus encompass the defeat
of Senator Pettigrew to succeed himself
in the United States senate. The. flu
sionists have perfected their organizati ton,
and are confident Of electing their entire
legisla tive ticket. John T. Cogan was
elected chairman of the campaign COM
mittee; C. G. Leyse, treasurer; F. L.
Blackman, secretary, and John ]. Nor
