ocrats and Republicans that it will
be Democratic. The greatest gain, he
said, will be made in Mississippi val
ley states, and Democratic leaders are
expecting much additional support
from the northeast. Mr.. Lloyd be-
lieves that the greatest gain shown
by any one state will be evidenced in
Missouri.
The Republican insurgency" move
impetus to Democracy in coming cam
paigns, declares Mr.. Lloyd. Combined
with the general dissatisfaction with
the high cost of living which is now
prevalent, the influence of "insur-
gency" will work wonders in the way
of Democratic gains, he says. 1.-THE in
surgents are impressing upon the
minds of the people the evil of high
prices of commodities and the evils
of Cannonism. This will result in the
reception by the people of Democratic
teachings, and will create wonder
full enlargement in Democratic ranks"
Mr.. Lloyd served one term in con-
gress with former Congressman Bell,
who is a Democratic candidate for
governor of this state. "Mr: Bell is
a bright, intelligent man." he declared.
In the two years that he was there he
made for himself as good record as
has been made by any man in a sim
liar length of time. He has been a
personal friend of mine and 1 have at
all times been deeply impressed with
his, integrity, his ability and his de-
votion to his work. His excellence as
the presiding officer of the Denver
convention created national commen-
dation."
The brilliancy of the Democratic out
look In the southern part of Califor-
MIA is the subject of comment all over
the state, says Mr.. Lloyd. He talked

them as saying that Los Angeles coun-
ty has the best organization in the
state.
