impartially.
''While harmony and unity of pur-
pose and intent always has been pres

all times been manifest; and in recog-

wisest course to pursue, and its final
action, expressed to you by this report,
is the result of the wideSt-p possible in
testigation, discussion and careful
thought.

it cannot present to you a report OF
unanimous action upon the first and
fundamental question presented to it.

dorsement of councilmen. Upon that
point, after all the discussion, sugges-

committee therefore recommends that
no Endorsement for councilmen be
made for the primary election to be
held November TO-

lande has the enviaole record of hav-

no faction of any strength dares to put
a candidate UP against him. Both men
