Daniels' withdrawal has of course removed his own shadow from the course of the campaign, much to the relief of the three an nounced candidate for the nomina tion—J. C. B. Ehringhaus, A. J.

Some believe that there are still enough of the Daniel's followers who will refuse to support any of the. Uiree announced ' candidates to bring}? out another candidate. Others Relieve that If one or more of the thhte ‘an nounced candidates will trim their sails and rebuild their platforms along the lines suggested by Daniels in his “Test for Candidates" that one or two may be able to gather in some of the pro-Daniels votes.
