lacked exciting features. 1t was in the
nature of long range bombarlment

with general argument in support of

evident that there never was such an
array of good material for nomination

large but the candidates all have a state
reputation. Notwithstanding this large
number TO select from, we believe that

in the field the party can name for the

would bring dignity and strong ability

experience in public affairs he would

He is thoroughly honest his integrity is
unasailable his public acts are above
