insnt C&io Democrat, rs follows:
Oar folks meaning the Democrats OF
Ohio believe we can carry the State next

this Senatorial struggle threatens that
unity which is so essential. To elect Pen

10 elect Payne or any other dis
tuctiye anti.Pendleton man would
make Pendletons friends mad.
We don't want any sore spots
that will break out next year to our injury.
Now, Thurman IS not identified with
either or any OF the factions. He has kept
in the back ground since he lett the Sem
ate. He is a bigman and could strengthen
our party in the Senate. His election
would be received with satisfaction by all
elements OF the party, and l would not be
