The democratic Delegate picture was More clouded with candidates listed As a commit festive pattern prevails As a poor move into Homes Washington apr with their City of shanties nearly one third finished about 300 members of the poor Peoples Campaign have moved into it in a festive mood. As they spent their first Chilly night in a a resurrection City .a.,�?� hundreds of other Desi tute americans were in caravans heading for Washington from the South Midwest and Northeast.
