committee I'm behalf OF a large number

means Of selecting delegates to the Roam
oke state Convention. As heretofore

the primary has been collected by DEM

whom they favor for the gubernatorial
nomination.

among some of the Ellyson leaders.
Manchester will this time have only
eight delegates to the convention, 'as IL
is based on the number OF votes cast TOT

the unlucky number Of thirteen 10 the
last Congressional Convention.

would be opposed in most Instances 10
| EXPRESS in a large measure the sentiment
of the city and county.
