convention the Republican party has
been gaining steadily in strength.

It still is too soon to say that the
Republicans have gained enough to
have 'cright prospect of winning
next November or that the Demo-
Gratis have lost enough to be in serl-
Gus danger of defeat at the polls.
However, Republican gains and
Democratic losses can't go on much
longer at their present respective
rates without beginning to give at
least a $3.50 look to the coming cleo
lion.

not successful, due to the fact that
the liquor manufacturers had already
