ROCKVILLE. Nd. November 3, 1a1a
The eve OF the election finds the demo-
cratic managers confident that all OF the
candidates on the democratic state and
county tickets will be given big majorties
in this county. Notwithstanding the de-
termined fight made by the Anti-Saloon
League against Andrew ]. Cummings,
candidate for the house OF delegates. the
party managers expect him, too. to pull
through, although they admit his margin
probably will be smaller than that OF any
other candidate on the ticket. For the
other candidates. majorities ranging
from 800 to 1000 are claimed.

boasting. 1t is known, however. that
they are well satisfied with the situation.

oughly united. The progressives who sup
ported Col. Roosevelt for the presidency
