by the Democrats to succeed Mr.. Wiilett,

Island part of the district.
When it comes to the state Senate the
Republicans expect TO retain the three
seats from this county now held by them.
They believe that Senator Agnew in the
18th, Senator Brough in the 18th and Sena-
tor Newcomb in the 18th, will all be re-
elected, although with reduced pluralitles.
In addition to this. the Republicans are

Devine who is running against Senator
Thomas ]. McManus In the 18th District.

in the 10Th District, has little more than
