November the Republican plurality was

publicans have only nine majority. With
50 small margin the Republicans need

cannot do If there is failure to elect
TWO Senator's. Such result will surely

morning. AS anticipated an alibi was

Mrs. Kelly's house. as he made his
rounds. He delivered his papers be-

bered seeing Callahan spending his time
in Henry Orff's saloon, when he was
supposed to be absent on his kidnapping
mission He also was not positive as to
the date.
