satisfied the rank and file of the re-
spectacle Republicans. [ have said
before and [ repeat now, that [ am
ticket man. l always was and
I hope that [ always will be- | have
no sympathy with the split ticket
crowd, neither have [ any sympathy for
those who would have this Territory

mission. / would consider myself a
traitor to the country if | had any
for those who advocate such
a system.

will improve them. Everywhere else
the party is in good shape for victory. |

split ticketers go elsewhere. -
