state ticket with decided approval and
predicted that it will be successful at
the polls. The unanimity of opinion
upon the possibility of securing votes
to land the candidates in office was of
such a decided character that the add
ed feature that the local Collins Re-
publicans were evidently pleased did
not add SO materially to the tone of
the opinions expressed.
The attitude of the Collins men is
one of complete silence. They do not
openly approve. But they do not con-
denim. Although Fenton G. Warner,
Edward Parish, George F. Dix and 9TH
er Collins leaders would not admit that
strong ticket had been named, they
took the significant ground that it
would not be fitting for them to dis
cuss the political situation. To. the
close observer this attitude of silence
means more than appears on the sur
face. -
