1t Is by no means clear.
If anybody really wants to
argue that there was something

posal was decisively defeated.
The vote was approximately
i,500,000 to $4,000. Il was

labor Union bosses and their

the fact remains that there
were not enough elections on .

and no elections at all for

On the whole, the voters be-

oppose corruption, they re-

Hitherto there have been two

The Democrats gained three

the Republicans retained their

in Philadelphia the Democrats

in many decades. Yet Pennsyl-

vote to the Democrats in 1852.
This year the Republicans
added q seat to their hold on

election contest.
In Virginia the Republicans
added q seat in the State

local elections near Washing

There's hardly q national trend

City elections in States like
New York, Connecticut and In
