There have been factions in the
county for the past several years
and unless harmony Is secured we
will see seventeen democrates march
into the court house as result OF
the next election" said Mr.. Lee.
Throughout the county there are
ninety percent of the voters who
are anxious for harmony and l be-
lieve the same condition exists In
Lewiston. l believe the faction
| leaders themseles are tired Of the
old, fight and II we are broad mind
ed enough to carry on this conven-
ton along harmonious lines the ef-
fects OF such action will result in
pi,ing up the majorities for our

feet credit to our. state and county"
