advice from Edward LaWerbach. Alexander
7. Mason and senator Flsberg we will he
ready to discuss that proposition with him
Mr. Lauterbach was chairman Of the County
Committee once and nearly ruined the
organization.
1T would seem thai tho best way 10 sue
coed in politics nowadays is TO kick AZ every
thing the organization does and pose ~
pformer. Then you will be a great man in
politics.
why don't they name the district lead
ers who are believed to have been az fault :?
Let them name Inc if they want to. If they
do so ] will then have a number of inter-
esting things to say. When they start 10
inquire as to the work of the organization
in the various districts it would be n good
idea, think, to take up the Twcntv-nnth
and endeavor to find out why senator Els
berg ran several hundred votes ahead of
Gov. Odell. Was it because Senator Els
berg is more popular than the Governor,
or was it because Edward 1auterhach.

Edward Lauterbach did not care 10 reply
to the personal references to him made in
the interview with Mr.. Gibbs. He said:
All good Republicans coincide with Gov.
OdelFs views except where selfish interests
Intervene
President Louis Stern of the Republican
Club said: Il heartily agree with every
thing the Governor said He il Just right
The remedy cannot he suggested on hand.
One would have To be familiar with the
conditions existing in each district TO dis
Cuss the situation fairly"
Mr.. Stern thought it possible that the
Republican Club would take up the discuss
sion of the question at its meeting the third
Monday in December.
