loyal Democrats, as it should of every
true citizen, and the figures showing
the correct percentage of legislators
both Democratic and Republican, in
VOWED, would no doubt make inter.
csting reading, as the percent would
likely reflect no particular enviable
light on the Republican minority ir
thu State Legislature.
