nd was glad to dismiss it. State Chairman
Na5res said that he had received a letter,
sEich he believed alluded TO the matter.
ut he did not seem to consider the matter
amy great importance as an element in
he campaign.
He is quite as confident as his chief that
he Republican ticket will be winner at
re polls in November, and rejoices that the
~ ticket shows signs of increasing
.rength every day. He had several callers
urlng the morning, and most of the time
as locked up in his room With them.

cfore train time and seemed unable to tear
imself away. just what the purport of
