be the generally accepted opinion. 1t strongly

Gratis, who concurred In the opinion that the nom
naton of Judge Cullen for the first place and Judge
Werner for the associate seat by the Republicans

that party to keep the bench of politics that
the Democrats could not escape following their
example
The second problem is that of the Governorship.
