In 1916, in 19-day's campaign,

hundred votes. The time allowed for
the campaign was so short that a
personal campaign was Impossible.
Believing the primary system
compols a personal canvass. / have
in this campaign devoted nine
months to a personal canvass. Sen
ator Hale has devoted no time, and
Mr.. Davies has come in so recently
that il is Impossible for him to do
much campaigning. The results
Monday will be a very good test as
to whether personal campaigns are
necessary.
