JUDGE PORTER,
OF the Tenth District, said he found in q
morning paper THE TRBuNE] statement
|" that It was the duty of every man who
should take part in the meeting to huthfu1ly
contribute, not merely his own personal
views, but<ha views of the Republican voters
whom he processes to represent, in regard to
third term, in order that the managing men
of the party may arrive at an intelligent con-
clusion as to whether it is safe or proper to
risk such an issue in the Presidential CAM
paign." Itwas also stated that "i it was possible
that the Invitations and the railroad passes had
been manipulated with the intention Of sup
pressing discussion Of this most vital
issue" He could only say his people
wanted peace and harmony in the Republican
party, and he deplored any fight between
candidates. Whoever was nominated they
would support, and they would elect a Re
publican Congressman in their district,
