and influence with q new organization de-
signed to destroy and defeat the cause with

some small degree q representative. Your
public action has been such that cannot

use them except in accordance with the
spirit in which they were conferred. So
deep and wide spread is this feeling in the
popular mind that all who should respond
to your call would be regarded as betraying
the party they have ceased to represent.
