some days ago that the Republicans
were hopelessly split UP over the re-

\ I'VE are going to elect Davis Governor
this fall said State Senator William
Campbell, OF the Charlestown District. at
Democratic congressional headquarters
this morning. II do not think there Is
any doubt OF the election OF Davis no
matter whom the Republicans may noml-
mate. Further than that feel pretty
safe In saying that the Democrats will
gain at least two members Of Congress.
] believe We will defeat Aston Dayton
in tho Second District. and Joe Gaines
An tn, Third. The Democrats of the
State are absolutely united. The senti-
tment is for German for the presidency.
ibut Parker will get the solid vote of the
party IL he should be the nominee.
hardly think. however, that the electoral
vote OF the State will be cast for the
Democratic ticket"
