Aside from personal likes
and dislikes and the manner in
which it was brought about, IT is
perhaps just as we'll that the fed
eral election bill has been, to all
intents and purposes, abandoned
as q party measure. While ac-
knowledging the necessity for some
such law, a great many republic
ans have been of the opinion that
it Is now too late to do what ought
to have been done years ago. But
as long as the republican party
could not be united in favor of this
measure it was the best thingfor
the party's interest to give it up.
1t should, however, have been CIV
en- up willingly by action of the
republican caucus, and not forced
out as 1t was by combination Of
republicans and democrats.
