u Judge lynn !. ArnOld's attack on
Aids In his speech at last nights Oxford
meeting created a good deal of discussion
la the Republican ranks here to-day
and il was freely asserted that Arnold
had hurt the Republican candidates
chances. Judge Arnold coupled Aids =
name with that Of stephen Ryan. the
Democratic committeeman from this
district. and accused them OF playing
the political game under the table
together
The Republicans have been trying
50 hard TO keep the Aids issue out OF
their campaign that they resent Judge
ArnOld's attack on the former senator.

which indicates that he IL feeling pretty
sore over the renewal Of the attack upon
HIM In connection with PROXY Thomas's
campaign. The attitude Of the Repub-
Leans ~ taken az AN indication that
although Aids is keeping quiet and IN

popularity extends 20 any appreciabIe
