true that in matter Of doubt the
county delegates are entrusted with n
decision OF the matter, being responsi-
Bile TO their constituents for a proper
exercise OF their discretion. 1t seems
to an outsider that the time has come
for the members OF the congressional

to End common ground rather than
new cause for division. Any Demo-
