san politics, we suggest the names of

less of their political affiliations as
worthy of the suffrages OF the people
for the positions of justices of the
Supreme bench
Major McGregor explained that the
resolution carried with it no nomina-
ton but simply lined up with the plat
form, giving no one cause to accuse the
Peoples Party of inconsistency.
There were other delegates who in
sisted upon the naming of purely Pop
ulist nominees and here the hitch
came
