versies between the Democratic and Ke-
publican workers who were present dur-
ing the two days session OF the board

rather heated II is not likely that any
sores were left II Is fact, however
that the Republican board gave It's DEM
Ocratic opponents very little considera-
tion. II IL was possible I'm any way legal

done and at the same time IL II was possi-
BILE TO save a man who was known 20 be
a Republican that too was done. This
game, however, has been going on so
many years by the Republican machine

prise and IT is not claimed that II was
worked any harder this year than I'm years
past.
