and the matter would be ven-
tilated pretty thoroughly. Considers
Bile interest is also manifested in the ad-
dress which is to be sent out broadcast
over the State. The proceedings of the
Of the committee were kept
very quiet, but some facts have leaked
out. Mott will seek to prepare oil Of
that address himself. All Independ.
ents, high or low, are to be supported.
1t is hardly probable now that any man
will be nominated as Republican save
in the way Of county officers. The
idea is to encourage Independentism in
every shape possible. Public and pri-

sections will urge them to foment dis:
satisfaction and seek to raise as large
crops of Independents ss possible.
This is the backbone of the plan Of the
campaign.
