complete county and township tick
ct will be placed in the field. Despite
the rumOrs that fusion, combination
and other compromise tickets would
be placed in the field jointly by the
Democrats and Republicans. it is the
general sentiment among Democrats
that a full-fedged, rockribbed Demo
cratic ticket will be pitted against the
progressive lineup
Two Booms Launched.
Two booms were launched at the
Cambridge City meeting. One was for
DR.. Ehle, Of East Germantown, who
made It known that he had annOunc-
ed his candidacy for trustee of Jack
son township. His announcement was
followed by DR.. Littell OF Cambridge
City, who claims to be an aspirant for
the trusteeship of Jackson township
The east county Democrats have
proposed an organization which will
be composed of more than one hun
dred members and will be a Demo
cratic club. It is not the aim Of the
promoters to oppose the Wayne coun.
ty organization, but it is merely a
campaign working organization. As
Yet no officers have been chosen, and
the organization is merely tentative
This club will have active charge OF
the campaign in that section of the
county
