of the strong support it has always had,

ceived the solid support of the Repub-

would be incorrect to understand. how
ever, that the measure exactly salts
fled all who voted for it, Even some
Republican members criticised il in
the debate n too radically protective.

THE N1YOR.4ITY.

Some agreeable indications were III evidence
Yesterday that many politicians connected with
the Republican organization are not disposed
to view Mr. Lows nomination with the irrec0n-
ci!abe resentment which 1t had been predicted
they would cherish 1t Is not unnatural that
the first expressions Of Republican politicians
should have been strong and even bitter. They
had desired another development Of the situ-
alton. and We're disappointed. AS matter OF
course, thar disappointment was made scuteiy
manifest. Every contested party convention
develops anger and denunclation of the same
character Such talk IS the safety-valve OF poll
ties. After the pent-up feelings are relieved
the calm sense of political possibilities asserts
itself and sets people to work in what Is mani
testify the wise course to bring about results
Anteeleclon contests have way Of being
alarmingly hot. but the heat developed Is gen
orally expended In good work az the end.
We think that every day from now TO the
time of the Republican convention will strength
en- the realization Of the Republican organiZa-
ton leaders that all considerations or patriot
ism. party welfare and personal interest prompt
a hearty response to the condition Of popular
feeling which plainly makes Seth Low the

the Republican organization has AT any time
Intended TO consider with an open mind The
possibility of nominating Mr.. Low. If lis invita-
tons 10 bodies known TO be ,rrevocably com
mitted to his support We're ISSUED with any de.
sire or expectation of reaching an agreement
with them the fact that one body declared for
him does not make him one whit less available.
A sincere idea that 1t might be wise 70 nom
mate Mr. Low certainly cannot be made I'm
tenabe by the fact that a lot of enthusiastic
people are so anxious 10 vote for him that they
cannot await the slow processes Of party ma
chinery before declaring their intention. If, Oh
the other hand. the Republican organization did
not mean TO agree to union on Mr.. Low. but
only sought to lead his followers into confer
ence so as to dlsarm them and he able TO make
a ticket regardless of independent sentiment,
then it has no right TO complain because is pur-
poses were foreseen and its intended victims
were not TO be trapped
We DO not at all mean 20 attribute such mo-
tives TO the organization leaders They are only
the alternative TO a union sought in good faith.
The search for union carried on in good faith
does not concern itself with Sights and prece-
dence but goes for the main point In this case
the main point is the finding of the man who
can poll the most votes in opposition TO Tam
