remember that they stand nearer 10 our constituents
than We do and their action therefore much ciearor

man who should attempt il. While the Board
was partisan il built up the reputation upon
which il has lived since. IL is not because We
want patronage that We ask that the party snail
take TO itself the power as well responsibility but it
is right and fair that should take this position Why
