necessary is that Of Election Day. We fuily

it cannot possibly justify. Incidence now conn

trustworthy we learn that these men are ieaV-
ing the campaign practically to take care OF
itself in At least some Of the country districts
Without making any charge Of Intentional III
difference we declare that the Republican State
Committee Is neglcctng its imperative WORK
II is not systematically putting effective speak

sumo that he is desperate. That Is no excuse

folly and not only that but moral offence, 10
act ON the assumption that he is losing instead
| Of winning votes every day 1t Is the business
| Of the Republican State Committee and OF every
cooperating local committee to encounter him at
all points with energy equal to his own, with
+ the deadly ammunition Of which he and his
Marty have furnished an inexhaustible supply,
and with the enthusiasm which good cause

| That. in fact is the only use Of it which is not

We regretfully censure the Republican state

in the rural districts the resOlute unfagging,
| inspiriting work which every campaign demands
from start to finish. whatever the chances seem

voters have made up their minds and do not

tending to aflct campaign managers with
low sense Of their responsibility and to provide

be amply verified on November g. but they are
not a useful contribution 10 the campaign
