exist for the achievement OF this cad.
The Oldest and perhaps the mosl nom
partisan is the citiZ 3ns committee OF 100,

Some two weeks ago this committee
solicited financial aid from Republican,

ocra.ic committee replied t5st the

of Republicans and WAC local in its
Irisdic!ion, for which reasons he de-
clined to subscribe. Tne Prohibition
committee sent It's bass wishes,
