[Marysville Appeal. |

,
Tomorrow the Republican delegates
to the Second Congressional District will
assemble at Sacramento to nominate a
candidate.
1t is a certainty that the selection will
be Grove l.. Johnson, present incumbent
Most of the delegates have been in
structed for him. The majority of those
uninstructed prefer him and we hope
there will be no division In the Republi-
can ranks as to whom that nominee
must be. BY all means he should be
honored. He will be elected by an in
creased majority. Why shouldn't he be?
The man who during the first two
months of his first term in Congress
sprang into national prominence, who
has demonstrated beyond cavil that he
has no superior in point of ability in the
lower House, and who served his con-
stituents faithfully and well, should be
returned unanimously by this district
Grove l.. Johnson should be sent back
TO Washington with a rousing ma
jority.
