We place at the bead of our col
umns to day the call for Republican
State Convention to nominate State
officers and Presidential eletors. The
convention will be the most important
one held in the state since 1886, and
should fully and fairly represent the
living progressive Republ;canism of
the State. To that no such packed
delegation should be permitted, but
the men chosen should the free un-
biassed choice of the people, not of
rings or would-be bosses. Let that
be and the actisn of the convention
will be approved byap unprecented
majority no matter who may be nomi-
mated.
