Friday night, ha's been immense, and
It is doubtful if all those who Intend

The prospects are for one of the
biggest and most enthusiastic Demo

of the progressive strength of the
party in the district and the attempts
that have been made in Washington
the past few days to stamp the con
gressman as a "party wrecker."
Beakes’ friends aseert that the alee

doubt in his mind concerning the sen
