DoDcINc RESPONSIBILITY.

How desperate is the effort of Re
publican State Chairman Joseph H.
Norris to dodge the responsibility to
his party for his carelessness and neg
lect of the work they gave him TO do,
This is merely matter for Mr.. Nor

duty, he wanted to unload on some
body and therefore his attempt to
blame his own negligence on to a
