overcome. Indeed, scme CT the Demo-
Gratis themselves give HOLSTER more
than an even chance ID win. Cincin-

depression as fome Of the other Ohio
cities. Furthermore. II the administra-
ton has succeeded in gaining the good
will OF American citizens with German

shifted its political allegiance very
often in the last dozen years. TIL, late
Representative Major Yves elected to
the House in that district in 1918 with
q lead OF only 70 votes. In the 1920
landslide a Republican. now Senator
Patterson. was elect-d with a. lead of
