The open war between the Republican
chiefs is no longer askirmish-it is a general
engagements pitched battle. Colonel
Sanders, Chairman OF the Republican Ter
ritorial Central Committee, is leading the
old.time Republicans, while Gov. Crosby
is mastering the pilgrim Republicans in
the fray. Two delegates to the Republican

Congressional fight. Thus it Is that the
Republican bosses are measuring their
strength. While the fight grows more fl.

Warren, Galloway, Irwin, Mantle and a host
of others are 'hollering for harmony"
If the rupture in the Republican camp
