On reviewing the situation, Mr.
Costigan is of the opinion that
the Democratic party holds. ap-
parently, a greater proportion of
"the plain people" Those who
profit from "antisocial conditions
in law and government he
finds, are more normally gather

"the republican party has renom

He also condemns the renomi-
