methods in the selection OF the officers ::

fact 10 our knowledge that the movers in
drawing the party line were afraid to put

think it a mistake on the part of the ''ci-

tion for the office of mayor man who is
chairman of the Republican State Cen
tral Committee for this county. II will
give him prestige that will be OF great ms.
sistance to his party. Come together all
Of you and start over again united on

than they ever accomplished before
