the claims of individuals, but rather the
claims of the public and the party. Let
there be no favoritism. but let each can I

for the place. IL
We can only hope to win success by
deserving it, and individual interests
should not be considered for one mo-
ment In matter of no much import

and intelligence Of our people will be
compelled to flock TO it. An open and
manly contest under worthy standard
bearers has in 1t more of hope and pro-
mise than any possible campaign,
based on strategy and political smart
ness. Let US force our competitors to
suffer by comparisons, and the victory
will be ours as surely as right is strong

The national campaign ID well under

our ranks the skilled workmen, who
have no much at stake in its decision,
foreign as well as native born. The |
sons of other nations who have made |
their homes with us are fast realizing |

dom for its own sake that ours Is a
national party In the true sense VI the
word, and the only one that accords to
the masses, the undisturbed, uninter-

! lar government.
We have no families TO sustain, no
J favorite few to press forward on all
: occasions, but in our ranks brains and
, solid merit can always find recgni-
tion and reward. Inspired by these
sentiments and actuated by these i'm
pulses we can go into the fight with

end
