ing placed on the ticket as candidate for
attorney general are brighter than ever.

Jeffries' calculations the number Of dele
gates who have already promised him sup
port amount to almost 500, more than sufh-
cient to secure the nomination.

Senator Jeffries have the support OF the
democrats of this district, it being consid-
cred distinction to furnish two men for

feet in harmonizing the two elements in
