the voters OF this Territory as election
day approaches. II was heard two
years ago and is in evidence this year.
For one reason or another there Is
feeling that personal friendship for in

stepping outside the strict party rule
that obtains on the Mainland. There
is every reason, however why each Re-.
publican voter should realize that he is
registering his vote for principle first

Admitting for the sake Of argument
the claim advanced by some that the
party platforms are all very much alike
in the leading declarations, the perfec-
ton of the Republican organization,
its recognized ability to fulfill its
promises, should be sufficient to pre-
vent any deviation of voters on merely
personal grounds. Political integrity
which inspires confidence that plat
form declarations are made with full
realization of the responsibilities as
sumed is the chief asset of any politi.
cal organization. And the Republican
party is the only political organization
in this Territory that today can prove
