Weber, 1895. The total vote was be.
low normal and probably will not run

The surprise OF the election was
the failure of the progressive to de-
velop any considerable strength.
With dissatisfaction growing out of
the democratic primary and the ad.
ditional fact that Murphy was a for
mer democrat and state official, pro-
gressives believed that they had a
good chance to win. Many democrats
were apprehensive, when former At

The small progressive vote is taken
as a definite indication that the
strength in the southern states will

Weeks, of Massachusetts, In speech
packed with statistics which he de-

day as he could century ago. The
British working man can buy less
than the American and the German
less than the Hnglishman with his
wages. the senator asserted. The eff.

would be to crrtail the running of
American mills, thereby reducing
sharply the income OF the working
man who in turn could buy less. This
would in turn cause prices to fail ana
