there has been much lighter vote this
year than three years ago. u the head OF
The ticket Il 10 be, taken az the test The
other candidates for state offices however,
probably received much larger vote than
did Cummins, showing that great many
republicans, desiring not to vote for Cum-
Minis, refused 10 vote for any candidate
for governor rather than vote for the demo
cratic candidate. but did vote for the rest
OF the state ticket.
