such strong pledge been required of
the voters, and there seems to be a
strong sentiment that the pledge may
nave been forced In the interest of
one of the two old vandidates-May-
nard or Young. Both Maynard and
Young say that while the pledge is
thoroughly Democratic, it was not in
their interest. and they deny the in
situation.
