place at which the state convention will
be held for the nomination Of a candidate
for congress. governor. state treasurer

under the existing conditions in this
state. then there viii be very little chance
TO win until conditions change
l. aiding members of the state commit

and ex-CoQgressman john E Osborne of
Rswlins will De selected to make the GU
berratorial race against Brooks the Re

himself
Among the towns that sent delegations
