Some OF the more conservative

speechmaker. His friends say that
his failure to poll a large vote al
that time was due TO general con-
diuonS in the city rather than any
failure on his own part. Those who
are backing him say also that he
will answer the cry that is being

that the party has an excellent
chance TO win in the state next
