the Republicans had never faltered, but marched
right into victory. In his own district

would BIO heavier than that at the
presidential election. Referring to the new
organization, he said he did not know any reason
why there should not DO half a dozen Pennsyl-
vania organizations in the city If the people choose
70 organize them. sHis experience was that small
bodies could do the best work There was room
for all, and from what he had OF this meeting
he could say that It had showed more genuine
spirit and push than any he had ever attended.

phia for the purpose OF securing transportation.
