confidence that his election is as
sured. History has 10 more notice
abie facts than those which prove that
special elections. especially where can
dioates are thought to have ''cinch,"

Iieving that they are not needed. This
is 4 mistake shat has cost many a
coed man dearly. MIR. Murdoch is en-
titled 10 a large vote. It will help him

tial men of the nation, who watch the
