 hat friends of Mir Fessenden are vigor- kusly booming the Hon Donald T. War Ter for congressman at large and also
 hat very determined opposition is being made to the renomination of

 ber in various sections of the state,
 md that the opposition to Mir I4illey is saking the irresistible form. full details bf which will be made public In due zime.'
 Concerning Mir Lilley's vote for State central committeeman. there is
 ho longer any question. Mir Lilley has himself stated that he voted for MT #xenealy.. This statement has natural
 V occasioned considerable comment because the friends of MT Gates had keason to expect that MT Lilley would hot favor Mir Kenealy and would favor he continuance of Mir Gates as chair
 han of the state central committee. Congressman Lilley has not yet ex~ blained why he determined to support sMr Kenealy. In view of Mir Lilley's bsst record it seems only fair that as he has frankly stated that he voted for MT Kenealy the reasons why he did ko should be ascertained before he is
