the state and county candidates will win

ticket are certain Of election and the
state candidates are sure. Nothing more

The only real good to be accomplish

forth is to poll the largest vote ever re-

conceded that not more than 70 per cent
of the regular vote will be cast over the

eagerness we await the news from other
