But the Plephiint hns shrivelled, and the donkey has cardinally grown. A recent Gallup poll, working on the basis of an estimated electorate of 55 million, 'puts the Democrats at 21.5 million, the Republicans at 16.5 million, and independents at 15 million.

Britain released figures on a newer and even more' powerful engine. The new Jet engine, (he Bristol Olympus, has maximum static thrust of rj.150 a compared lo the Sapphire's 8.300 pounds.
