10 the Editor OF The Evening Journal
Sir. Replying to your editorial of Au-
gust .. "I.ines 10 a Critic" the idea OF
my letter was not to convey the facts of
how the last ticket was nominated az
though the average layman would rea-
son about as ] did as hc bad nothing TO
do with making the ticket neither Rcsu-
lar nor Union. but delegated what au-
thority he possessed as delegate TO a
steering committee from each faction
composed mostly of office holders la this
smto nt the present time. Us this abb
surd or suossins2 And repetition of
this IS what I am trying to guard against.
Neither do ] wish to discuss what you
and have been or done in the past as /
have not the time nor you the newspaper
space TO begin TO ten it an. We cannot
scare anyone by shooting at each other
why not accept the cause as u is and why
not turn our backs 60 the past, that is
loaded with mistakes and bad feeling.
and with our faces TO the future press
on 10 success IN will take am orsaniza-
tion or individual longer to change mis-
takes than IL does to make them. Docs
the class you represent mean TO say that
Rcpuh lean Governor can he elected
that is not friendly TO the Union faction?
You know that is not possible and yet
YOU accuse others of being absurd for
lust such statements. Bo fair and let us
nominate TO elect and not nominate 60
trade. The men ! suggested, VI nominated
n convention VIII be of no use to- "a
steering committee They will. be neither
owned nor controlled 10y any man or fac
tion therefore viii not De madc subjects
OF trade and traffic. This should DE a
prize to the class you represent You

along this line that relief and rest should
be welcome Would ii not DE more like
winning politics 10 nominate a man with
the SMALLEST past record On our factona'
