rescue but was unable to reach the
dog or escape himself and was struck
as he turned to leave the bridge.

not as harmonious now as they were
in the local campaign last year and
some close observers doubt if they
can carry the state. Nevertheless, it
is an exceedingly interesting fight.
Each side wants it to appear that
President Roosevelt is in sympathy
