l.. b. Russell, mayor-First choice for
senator. Chief Justice Stayton; second
choice. ex-Gov Ross, but would not OPP
pose Chiffon. / thin the United States
senate should be filled by men of COM
prehenslve intellect and ripe experi-
ence I'm affairs of state. Prefer Lam
ham for governor because he Is both
experienced. sensible and safe, / am a
bimetallist and think the policy Of the
national administration Is calculated
to establish bimetallism at the earliest
possible date think Judge Reagan and
Judge Clark both 'Ntle out Of time for
harmony and believe the state Demo
cratic convention, while not bound by
the Dallas agreement ought TO ratify
1t and add nothing to the nstiona
platform on the silver question. The
most important office OF organized de-
| mocracy is to effect reforms In the ma
tlonnl government. and without har'
mony and spirit OF mutual conoes'
| sion, the national party will fail 10 car
ny out many reforms which are very
much needed.
