IT this trend keeps up, We may win
in Connecticut. New Hampshire, New

Indiana and Illinois.
In the West, think We have a
very decided advantage in Kansas,
South Dakota, North Dakota, Iowa,
Wisconsin. Oregon and California.
Farmers of the country are very
much dissatisfied with conditions and
with the low prices for crops. In in
dustrial centers. many persons are dis
appointed because they have been

Prom the facts which have come

evidences Of corruption in handling
