Democrats would let Illinois go by default" said
Chairman West to-day. My information is
that they are doing a great deal OF quiet but
thorough work all over the State. and have all
the money they need. While am confident that
the Republicans will carry the State / do not
hesitate TO say that they take no chances
and will be compelled for the first time in ten
years TO fight a party which has an abundance
Of campaign money"
