IL for Cook, "a for Clark. God
win received 1859 votes on first
ballot, after which 1886 of Robe

~ Both conventions claim to
IN regular and designate the 9TH
IN side as insurgents 1t lool
or now like a three cornered fig
for the Republicans will doub
of less put out a candidate al
to there are many who claim tn
he Goodwin will win. He has gre
re strength with the people, UNIQUE
ir- tinably, but it is impossible
lat say how far that strength m;
zee have been weakened by Il
at events of the conventions.
, At any rate, there is no dou
nd about the fact that a parlous S
IN uatlon exists in the sixth &C
ad gressional district.
