! This is no place for elimination or re-
criIninaton We are met here as breth-
rem of one household We owe it to oul
party, to our state and TO ourselves te
select that standard bearer Who's
character, ability and record will best
unite the republican forces and draw to
us the support of those conservative
democrats who prefer their country tc
their platform. Such man is Donald
T. Warner, of Salisbury! All the quail
fications of a matchless leader are uni
ted in him. AS a lawyer, by his abili-
| ty, he has attained the front rank at
| the bar. AS a legislator he has been
| twice chairman OF, the judiciary COM
mittee and the recognized leader of the
senate. His life is as an open book and
has been passed in the wholesome at
mosphere of the Litchfleld hills where
none know him but to love him, and
none speak of him but to praise. His
public record is spotless and his private
life without a stain. Nominate him
and the republican party of this state
keeping step with their brethren
throughout the Union and reinforced by
| thousands who repudate the platform
of Altgeld and Aguinaldo, will march
forward to an assured and glorious vic
tory.
