Senate In saving that we voice Mr..
wishes as well as our own.
There is an intmation in what we
have quoted from Every Evening that

offers and acted in good faith. So far ms
it has been possible they have kept
their obligations with the National Re
publican Committee, and have made pos
sible the election of the Republican
presidential candidate. They have pre-
sented State ticket for the considera-

the Republican State ticket. other than
the faint Democratic hope of success it
must come from some other than Union
Republican sources But the point is
not there. The Republican State ticket
