ciaL Although no meeting OF the
league has been held since the one az
which nominations were made, several
conferences have been held between
members and the situation discussed.
The Republicans are not saying much
but are carrying on an active campaign
and declare that the chances are good
for carrying the city. They have
named a straight out ticket and are

voters In general and altogether they
have am easier road to travel than
either OF the two opposing factions.
