declines to be used. He has not
yet, however, filed a formal or le-

and unless he does his name will
be printed on the official ballot.
1t will be difficult matter for the
republicans to draft candidate
in the third district, and why
shouldn't it? Republicans admit
that Mr.. Lake is better commits
sioner than any they have ever

made botch joh. Of It they should
not try to defeat a good man when

ficult to find good men for the of.
