1t is all right for people to hold pro-
Boer meetings if they feel so inclined
and have nothing of more importance
to do, but it is not all right to try to
make them party affairs. There is a
good deal of sympathy for the Beers
in their struggle against u. larger
power, but the sympathy racket is a
personal matter. There are probably
as many republicans who sympathize
with the Beers as fusionists or any
