SAYS THE MORNING NEWS.
The suggestion made n day OF Two
ago. that one way by which the two
Republican organizations could get To-
0ether and act together, was by adopt
ing policy OF give and take IN the
matter OF nominating state and county
candidates, leaving the question OF
United States senators pass in default
IL necessary, receives the sanction OF
the Milford Chronicle.
As we see the situation there could
be much gained by such plan. IL Is as
clear as day that neither one OF tho two
Republican organizations can expect TO
win by itself. Thus, by fair and con-
scientious agreement to make nomI-
nations I'm turn from members of the
two bodies. there seems a way out OF
the difficulty. The matter of legisla-
tive candidates can be left to the voters
themselves in the several districts.
There is no real contention concern
ing state and county offices and any
amicable agreement to be reached
would be ominently satisfactory in its
general results. Now is the time for
those who have the direction of party
affairs. TO consider the proposition and
thus pave the way for reaching some
understanding. +. Z. Bach made the
original proposition, we believe, ano
now the Milford Chronicle accepts the
proffer. or course it remains for a mu.
tual understanding to be reached and
a guarantee of good faith.
