tel The political end of the legislature will
probably keep right at work while here

has hope that five Of the seven repubi-
cans who still oppose him will change be-
fore March S, but he will not be disap-

ness he believes that when his cause Is
again submitted to the republicans of Del

of republicans to him.

may be called by the governor to again at
tempt the election of senator's
