crack the harmony nut.
Believing that THE Regulars would
formulate some sort of an overture

tl,a ha -,
session. The harmony committee, so
called executive commIittee, reported
to the central commiUaee the results
of its deliberations with the Addicks
men and the matter of accepting John
HUM of Wyoming, as the fusion can
didate for Governor was again dis
cusssd. Martin B. Burris and Will
liam S. Hilles were also talked of as
winners if placed upon the ticket for
Congress, both being of the Higgins
Hilles want-to-win element, which
is believed to desire victory more than
lit does uhe overthrow of Addicks.
