The resolution at the Grand Rap
ids convention urging closer re
lation between party managers and
Republican newspapers is a proper
although tardy recognition of a
powerful factor in party success. 1t
means that the agents to which can
didates have looked TO do the heavy
cannonading and never looked in
vain, is to be allowed 10 post the
forces. While the fealty of the press
has never wavered, and while no
more loyal service can be rendered
III the future than has been given in
the past, if the resolution of the
Grand Rapids convention is general
ly indorsed by local organizations,
great good will result. The newspa
per has not been allowed to realize
It's fullest usefulness to the party in
the days gone by, but the days to
come promise better things. The
Republican party has nothing to
conceal. The more thoroughly the
people understand it the better they
like it. Upon the paper that mas

life, which is as much necessity in
the home as food and clothing, the
party must rely almost entirely TO
Get It's doctrines to the people. As
