Mr.. Tracy's attempt to involve First
district Republicans in a senseless
and irrelevant fight over the next
speakership of the national house for
his own political advantage is entirely
too gauzy to stand any show of sue

tent trap is gross insult to the intel
ligence of those he expects to walk
into it.
