in 1875 when Mr. Lehman established
The Fair, the country was still in the

Any chance to buy cheaply was not

you will win her patronage. And the
more excitement and competition you

that in the one word Volume lay the

age limit of 62 be established for the

BRENNAN SAYS
DEMOCRATS WILL
CARRY ILLINOIS

Washington, Oct. 13.-George Bren-
nan, the Democratic boss" of Illinois,
was among the callers at the White
House today. He had long talk with
Secretary Tumulty. Brennan ex-
pressed the belief that the Democratic
ticket in Illinois would win. He de-
clined to make any predictions, how
ever, regarding the Illinois electoral
vote and would not discuss the candi-
dacy of Governor Cox. He said:
"All l care to say is that l believe
we1l elect our nominee for Governor
and the entire state ticket. At least
we have better than an even chance"
Efforts to draw Brennan out on
the subject of the Democratic ma
tional ticket and it's chance in Illinois
were unsuccessful. He declined en-
phatically to say anything on the sub
ject.
