ed In the state have no relation to

to local causes. Whether right or not,
the belief obtains that the great mass

sentation in nominating conventions
and that man with an ambition to
engage in the public service had no
opportunity unless he was fortunate
enough TO be put on a prearranged
slate. IL was natural to expect that
sooner or later this would he resent
