Republicanism, the latter especially

out Mr.. Overstreet without relinquIshipg
one iota his regard and friendship for
Flynn, declared himself a Republican and
that TO achieve party success h Was the
duty OF every Republican to give TO Gov

in his administration that would have
beeen appointed governor. 1t was frank
and manly statement OF his political po-
