co factories and the many other in
dustries in the Piedmont, there is lit
tie doubt but that Mcdonald will
come out of the fight with a big
plurality over Hoey and Graham in
these industrial counties, if not an ac-
tual majority. And if Mcdonald can
get majority in the Piedmont coun-
ties. in which there are often more
votes in a single precinct than there
are in entire counties in both the east
and west, there is little doubt that he
will get a plurality over the other two
and be in first place. Or if Mcdonald
can get even a good plurality in the
Piedmont counties he can still be as
sured of second place and of thus get
ting into the second primary.
Another Possibility.
On the other hand if either Hoey
and Graham can do the unexpected
and improbable and manage to run
a head of Mcdonald in the Piedmont
counties, either one can be in first
place rather than Mcdonald, most of
the seasoned political strategists
agree. 1t is no secret that the Hoey
forces are concentrating their drive

an effort to take enough votes away
from them to put him in first place

TODAY'S HOROSCOPE

Today's disposition is a hopeful one,
but hesitating; full of projects, but it
may be neglectful of opportunity.
There is a certain amount of native
ability and a good mind which will
help toward success; but the aim of
every one born on this day should
be to cultivate self-restraint and con-
tentment, and as soon as something
proves satisfactory to stick to it.

side.

1t is possible that the widowed
dowager Queen Mary may walk part
of the way.
The body, in its simple coffin OF oak,
made on the Sandringham estate, will
be carried on gun-carriage of the
Royal Horse Artillery to the little rail-
road station
Two hundred Norfolk constables
have been drafted to handle the
crowds expected on that day.
The late Kings own company of the
