To the Editor Of The Washington Times:
With all respect to the writer of the

Moreover. the convention. almost

by the president of st. Paul's Progress

and Representatives who voted against

The article sets forth that the three
regulars, Representatives Tawney, Of

Fourth, and Nye, Of the Fifth, cannot

SO strong is the opposition
1t is a fact that. although the First
