Whereas. At the Tenth district congress

We value our rights Tar greater than al
l~egiance to any political party, and as the
accredited representatives of Lake county
were disfranchised and unable to assert the
a candidate for Congress. we feel thar il
would be against the principles OF true Re-
publicanism to support or vote for the
nominee of said convention.
Resolved. That the nomination of Charles
p. Lands by the same convention is IL
legal, it not having received a majority of
the legally selected delegates TO said con-
~vention, and that if said Charles Il. Lands
persists in being a candidate by virtue of
said nomination. it will make the election
of a Republican Congressman In this dis
trict impossible, and will largely be the
means of defeating the entire Republican
State ticket.
Resolved. That We appeal to Charles
Harley, chairman of the Republican con-
gressionaI committee Of the Tenth district.
TO declare the work of the Hammond con-
vention of May "a illegal. and TO call a new
convention. at which the Republican voters
of the district may be honesty and fairly
