SATURDAYS CONvEN-lsA'

Some of the mem '
bers OF the Demo- SIX.
cratic County Exc ere
cutive Committee Oflsel
this county, seem to me
have a hard time In sol
running things to suit Gel
their own cenven. for
ience. There are rep pei
resentatives. of theItor
Democratic organi- ma
zation on the Com are
mittee, who appre' bu'
ciate the nature OF ho
the duties commit an,
ted TO them, and the tn,
obligations they are TO
under to all thoseIth
who placed them in fri'
responsible posi- are
tio..S and there are tai
others who consider0y
tucir places as mere Blu
opportunities for the far
display of small, dis
trickery and pettyicee
malice. There was a fee
notable illustration aft.

We are somewhat
