There was no contest in the Eighth |
Precinct of the Fourth District. Har- |
mony prevails there, and the ticket was
named without a hitch of any kind. The !.
delegates are representative men. Over :.
in that precinct, as in one or two I

is not so strong that there is not I

he wanted to be vindicated and he
said then he would not be a candl-I

him under those conditions last year
will not do so again. for the same rea-
son for his election does not exist

Democrats would put up good man
there was no doubt of his election il
