He has prepared circular letters.
which will be sent to Democratic
editors and newspaper men through
out the state, asking that they for

of interest concerning Democratic af-
fairs and news political in their locali-

Officials of the state committee are
not Worrying much over the criticism
which Is being Ieveled at them for
agreeing with Mr.. Miller, the secretary
of the Republican committee that
from Republican standpoint the
present campaign was not one Of
principles
This purported statement of Mr.
Miller's was in his letter as it was
printed in the newspa pers to Chairman
Ryan of the Democratic state commit

Joint debates by all of the candidates
on both tickets. 1t seems that this
letter of Mr. Miller's actually read.

is campaign in which principles are
at stake AS these sentences appeared
in the newspaper to which the letter
was first given by Mr.. Miller all of the
words between the first which and
the second which" were dropped ont

the thing read: I'VE make this sug-

not campaign in which principles
are at stake"
This letter Of Mr.. Miller's was given
TO the newspaper and copied by other
papers, which did not get copv

ceived at Democratic headauarfers
and the reply from Democratic head
quarters was framed on the letter as
It appeared in print and sent to Mr.
Miller before the original letter had
been received from him
