This very fact that Reynolds seem ed to be getting closer and closer to the nomination, however, has turned out to be' one of the things that has helped Morrison more than anything else, it is agreed here. For it caused tnAny Democrats who heretofore had been considering their personal pre ferences between Morrison and Rey nolds to start thinking what would happen In November, in the general election. If the Democrats should nominate Reynolds, an opponent of prohibition, running against Jake Newell, the Republican candidates for the Senate, an ardent dry in both po litics and practice. As a result, many Democrats who until recently seemed to prefer Rey nolds to Morrison, have become wor ried at what might happen to the Democratic nominee, if Reynolds should get the nomination.

May 24.- -Many fol)t unquestionably believe--some optim istically, some it) a spirit of deep pes simism -that present economic condi tions foreshadow great progressive gains at next November's election *~ not only the election of more pro gressives than ever before, but more radical ones. It seems to me that the depression's result is just as likely to be a land slide in an uttra-oenservative direc tion.
