all the states concede them and have

that Of last year, seems unchanged,
but contraSted with that OF SO years

the chairman of the district commit

Chairman Boss call only for the cleo

Brown could just as well call for the
election of delegates to the national
convention OF 1908 as for the national
convention of 1904 that has not yet
been called. He and two or three
South Bend men, one Of whom asserts
that he can cast the vote Of ST. Joseph

seem to think 1T is the proper thing
10 deprive the people of any choice In
selecting men to represent this dist

sit down very hard on the proposition
of Brown and the South Bend ring to
choose delegates to the national con-
yention now. When the convention
meets We shall learn whether St. Jos
eph county has any delegates or
whether one man can cast the 80
