asking only that due consideration
be given the same and that the party
pass upon the question in the man
ner that TO it may appear best for
the interests of the party organlza-
tion and for the welfare of the state.
If my fellow Republicans think it
better to select someone else for the
exalted position, shall cheerfully
accept the result, as anyone should

ticket to victory, and being elected
shall devote all my time and all my
energies to the upbu'lding of thu
state by which | shall have been 8,
