members of the faction which has been
backing him. but this virtual defeat at
the primaries, when without any fight

of the precinct, will it is feared operate
against him.
From the seventh come two candi-
datessin the persons OF William Henry

The call for the meetings of the dis
trict committees provides for their or
gsnization on Friday morning at IL
