takes place tomorrow, but each man
vehemently denies any intention of
quitting before the race is finished,
and the impression is that neither

Senator Anderson held a caucus of
his supporters in the Kimball House
last night, at which the famous
twenty EIGHT" he says he has on his
list" were expected to be on hand.
Only fifteen showed up for the con-
