faller out Of the list OF those whicl
hold preliminary elections, and this lis
now includes only such strong demo
crati states as Alabama, Arkansas an
Georgia, and such strong republican
states as Maine. Vermont and Rhod
Island. BY this means the indirect in
! fluence OF these preliminary election
has been very much reduced and tn
! influence Of the other doubtful state
ccrrespondingly enhanced.
