however, may be the means of get
ting It INTO trouble. The state adj.
ministration newspaper organs will
probably want to read il out Of the
party. They will look upon the SIZE
up of the Republican as rank hercsy.
The organs cannot recognize any
one ia the "party" who is not ortho-
dox TO the core when the sacred
name Of the "par,y" is mentioned
above a whisper. The motto of
the state administration. commonly
called the "siatehou9c machine" by
the irreverent, is ave are the party !

From all over the state. the same
reports come in. The Republicans
who are holding the public offices

all candidates for re election, pro-
viding the law does NOT prohibit a

case OF the governorship, the in

out and grasping for more. They

Why did not the Journal "Aoil"
