Fetzer graces other Somerset that there were more Republicans in other elections who did not cast up, Governor Earle defeating Schnader by 984 votes and Senator Guffev defeating Reed by 1132.

The way the registration totals are coming in as the final day for registering in the State arrives is disconcerting to the Republican leaders. In many counties the Republicans have "more voters than the Democrats, but in most counties Democratic gains have been larger than Republican gains over last year's enrollment. It is this trend that bothers the Republicans, for the Democrats carried the State two years ago only with the aid of Republican votes. Many of the Republicans who then voted for Earle are now Democrats. ballots than Democrats who went to the polls.

A philosopher could not have driven home more convincingly the points he made: "I'm no centipede," said he, "hut I know that on a healthy man of my middle age even two feet are still going to need a lot of footwear. See this bundle? There are three pairs of brand-new brogans in it.

I've got eyes and I keep 'em open I know a bargain when I see it And just because I watch the ads for such things, I figure that I've made a shrewd investment by buying three pairs of shoes for what I'd ordinarily pay for two."
