900 "dry" Democrats might de-
eide to form an alliance with the
Republican party, which ever
sine elast year has been posing as
the "dry" party in the state and
inviting the votes Of, the, ".dry"
Democrats, it is agreed in many
circles. If this should happen
there is the very definite POSSIBLE
ity that with the help of the dry.
Democrats the Republicans might
gain control of the governmental
machinery both in the state as a
whole and in most of the counties
and that a new, fusion" party
composed of "dry" Democrats and
supposedly dry Republicans
would gain control of the state.
