individuals for office the fundamental prn-

in which the interest of the whole people IS
centred. From all parts of the United States
have come letters and contributions ana the
press OF the whole country has shown how vital
they consider this conflict to be- All over the
country they it do IL New York-a
fight on the part of the people to resume the
power that justly resides in them and which un-
justly has been taken away from them

Sonal approval 1t seems to me to be unseemly 10
