the presidency by the republican party this
year upon the arguments OF four or eight
years ago. No candidate can even aspire
TO the nomination who does not openly re-
pudiate or studiously ignore the rcpub-
icanism OF the last eleven years. Moth

Daniel F. Cohalan appeared before
Justice Crane in the supreme court and
argued that the injunction restraining the
state committee from interference with
the names of the McCarren delegates on

itest may be carried to the floor OF the
convention. Justice Crane agreed with
Mr.. Cohalan that the convention is the
