The republicans have realized for some

lieve they can win. With almost any other
candidate for mayor the chances would be
against them
Burton has not trained with the Hanna

render to Mr.. Burton.
However, acceptance on Mr.. Burton's
part would involve the sacrifice of his posi-

He has not yet announced his acceptance.

that supplies are to be sent north by the
