back to the head of the Republican state
central committee?
The practical elimination OF Boss Bray

necessary or the Ieformers cannot be kept
out of the promised land and the machin-
lists will be expelled to the wilderness.
Holden has conducted more than one

OF the committee Is for Wetmore

the committee also would have to be APP

SO that the combination OF Wetmore and
Tillnghast Republicans would easily
prove too strong for Holden TO overcome
