not heretofore understood the princi-

They are in the same position as the

church, and was getting paid for it.
There is nothing in the Republican

they desire TO set in touch with the
Republicans in the east.
Why don't they want politics men

mated Farley L. Williams the chair
man of the gold bug party was nomi-
mated by one faction: nominated by
such gold bugs as L. S. Hills and be-

MIR. Rawiins prefaced his remarks by
making some illusions TO the proGuc-
