The Rev. Mr.. Maxwell seconded
the motion.
P. NJ. Bruner said the four candi-

for tomorrow? There was sufficien
intelligence ir the Republican party
of this precinct to select six candi
dates. Such q selection would not b,
mandatory upon voters, as every vote
had a right to vote for whom b.
pleased, anyway.
