rHIs is HISTORY

We printed yesterday the story Of
the efforts made by certain Democratic
leaders to get their members Of the
Legislature to agree to vote for one
Regular Republican Senator, leaving
the other place vacant, ana Of their
failure.
This Is a bit Of history which may be
reverted to often in the future. De
spite Democratic protestations, it is
now known that the representatives of
that party were never able to agree on
any plan TO elect senators that did not
include Salisbury and Kenney
There are many stories aficat, and
all persons concerned are endeavorine
to shield themselves from blame, yet
the fact remains that they could never
agree to elect two Republicans They
could not get enough votes to elect one
Republican, feaving vacancy, and
they were prepared at no time 10 de
liver the votes necessary TO elect one
Democrat and one Regular Republican
Il is we'll to have this bit of historl
written down while it is fresh in ou
monlories. for we are certain to hear IL

Ideals and a willingness 10 sacrific
