REPUBLICAN ..HARMONY. -

M. M. Williams, the genial republl-
can leader, gave harmony ban
quet at Hotel Buckman Friday. The
county nominees were supposed to be
present. They did not all attend The
county committee was supposed to be
present They did not all attend. 1t
was agreed that harmony was very es-
sential, though just where 1t was to
be secured was hard to figure. Several
limited that the transcripts style Of
doing things was not creative of
harmony. A dampener on the gather
! ing was the announcement that Mark
Murphy of Royalton had resigned from
the county committee, on account of
his general disgust at the situation
and lack of confidence in the crowd
that is trying to run things AS Mr..
Murphy has been for years one of the
leading republicans of the county, and
a pillar Of strength, his resignation
cast gloom that all the diplomacy of
the suave chairman could not dissi-
pate. And the realization that Fuller,
the would-be boss of the republican
party, had just been repudiated by the
party in favor of a wretch, . caused
many to feel that his support was a
slender reed.
Knowing what people think of
Transcript stuff, Fuller conceived the
notion that press bureau should be
created. A slick trick, but a transpar-
tent one. The hand may be that of
Esau, but the voice will be Jacobs.
The press bureau will probably tell of
what Fuller didn't do when in the
house and senate, just as an evidence
of what men influenced by Fuller
would do in a position of RESPONSE
lbillty 1t is also likely that there will
be a picture of the Solomon of Elm
dale, with the photographs of the
Thayers. to illustrate an article entl

Yes indeed, the press bureau will be
great! And the republican newspa-
pers are to publish the stuff, get paid
Tor it, which is proper, although Full
Ter has, he says, no personal or finan
cial interest III the campaign Those
are among the strongest reasons why
Fuller wants his candidates elected
personal and financial reasons, and
that is why many republicans will not
help Fuller out. The press bureau
will possibly reprint Fuller's attack on
Lindbergh, and his slobbery apology.
Among the first jobs of the press;
bureau will be to convince the people
! of Royalton that when Fuller slurred
the Boucks and Fred Lakln, he did it
because he loved the folks down there.
The Transcript IS now trying to craw-
fish: If it mad desired to help one of
the Royalton candidates, it would
have said SO; on the contrary, the
Royalton folks got lnnuendo, slurs
and ridicule. Believing that they are
better republicans than Fuller ever
was, or is, they don't intend to be
bamboozled by any CUFF at this time
It is apparent to everybody that the
\ whole campaign will be an endeavor
to rescue Fuller from the depths to
which he has fallen. Republicans who
don t want Fuller for their czar are
not gong to help on any proposition
primarily intended to resurrect his
J political corpse. AS one republican
pithily put it-"a victory for the local
republican ticket under present condi-
tlons means victory for Fuller, and
that's enough guide for me- .
