before the people. I have confidence I'm,
the Intelligence and honesty OF th9
masses"
what do YOU think of the primary i'm
Richmond and the proposed early noml-
nations in other sections

Norfolk county / had only forty-eight /
hours notice and this through news /

venuon had been called In that souniy /
Tor the 18th.
PEOPLE LOOKING Oh.
"But 90 ls an right. 80 Is prOvidential.
The people throughout the State are
looking ON and are being more and more
confirmed in their impressions and are
inquring why should there be such rush
ing haste in selecting candidates? IL IS
certainly not usual in Richmond and m
Norfolk county. and 80 is not necessary
N any section Give the people abund-
ant opportunity 90 make Gp their minds
on sucn an important question. u may
ne tried in other places. but in the State
as a whole. ! am expecting fair play |
am glad that there is such natterng
proof of support from the newspapers
OF the state. think from appearances
= large majority of both the dailies and
week.-Mrs.. especially the latter, favor my
candidacy"

ton. II seems TO bc pretty well settled
