ported me but also preserves the party organi-
cation / am certain that all men who appreci-
ate fair play and this included nearly all the
citizens of Massachusetts. will welcome the de-
cision. While made my campaign upon econ
omic issues which commanded the support Of a
majority of the delegates and which am con-
fdent will also command the support of ma
80 hA n.
citizens. regardless of party affiliations. will ap-
prove the decision, because It established the
supremacy of law and order in political con-
tests"
