EDITOR PRESS, Dear Sir
Why is 1t that the Republicans who
manage the party IN achinery are so secret
in their methodist Why can we not have
the same publicity given to our county
committee meetings that the Democrats
give to theirs? AS an instance Of what
mean on Mch 14th the Republican coun-
ty Committee met and transacted business
of much interest to the candidates and
voters and yet it was nearly a month be-
fore the public knew anything about what
they did Was II desirable to keep it
darkP As a rule it is conceded by most
men indelicate and not in good taste for
person to remain n member of a county
committee even II elected to it after
he becomes candidate for office.
Now, II it is proper for one can
didate to participate in the deliber-
ations of that committee it is fair for
all Certain.it is that the gentlemen who
went in there on Mich 14th on proxy did
not do so for the purpose Of helping his
opponents but simply 70 further his own
interest l think it is high time all such
methods were stopped. The members of
that committee are or should be perfectly
competent to get along without outside in
huences and every candidate in the field
should be given the same consideration.

because Of the great number Of sick and
