that this State should be well repre-
scented in the body that will have to do
with deciding those questions that Will
arise. concerning the newly acquired
possessions of this country, the govern

of new avenues of trade. In order that

adjustment Of these important matters

Republican delegation in Congress that
will place her in touch with the admin

possible were our representatives OF OPP

time discuss the issues that will con-
front. the voters at the coming election.
