people Of this state stand together
for reform In truth. Is it possible
that those men who met at Grand

did not see that they were widening
the chasm, and that years would have
to elapse, and "a new regime enter on
the scene, before the branch can be

which the branch can be mended, and
that is for the people of this state to-
rally around the best man at the pri-5
