The Democrat has repeatedly told
the editor Of the Press, that his
efforts against the progressive re-
publicans would prove futile, and
suggested that it would be for his
interest to get into the Cummins
band-wagon while there is yet room
for him. At last he appears to have
acted upon the suggestion, for in the
last weeks issue Of the Press we
find these very suggestive lines:
It's coming. comlng-I caa feel II 10 the air
