AS these deductions differ SO widely
from those made by the ambitious Mr..
Byrne, there is opportunity for a
wager, and it is likely that some Of
Nd. Addicks money will be used in this
way.
If the opposition TO William Mich

tell. The opposition was pronounced,
and it is safe to say that not one quar-
ter of the delegates in attendance fa-
vOred his choice 1t was for the lack
of a leader for this force that Mr..
Byrne can thank for his nomination.
Coming into the senatorial fight at
the last moment, as Robert Adair has
