county committee the name of Wendell
Phillips was left out Being In real
ity one of the best of the day. It was
not thought possible that his name
could be omitted, Ahlgren took Tous-
saint iOverture. by Phillips. Now with
the contest only two weeks away he
is barred from using his defamation
which took first place in the confess
