The platform on which the Repub-

terms. DR.. Hunter was chairman Of
the state Republican committee and

The logical deduction from this
was that DR.. Hunter was an adher-
ent of the single standard policy, and
that every Republican elected to the
legislature was in accord with the
declarations of the platform of his
party and a gold standard man. But
things were not as they looked, for
it appears that DR. Hunter is now, if
lie has not been all the time, abso-
