cause l stood for to an extent that was
very gratifying to all. and with then
were the great mass Of republicans Of
this county who longed for better politics
THE campaign was made on u high
plane. and our appeal was made to thu
judgment of the people of this count,
over the heads of the organization which
opposed us and the people saw clearly
and acted quickly as they always do.
while this may be justly heralded al
a great democratic victory it was no les
a victory such as the progressive repub
Leans have been winning both in thu
East and In the West.

not been exaggerated. The people of thi

schedules in the interest Of the consume
and not in favor of special interests.

that political bosses belong to the past
