not keep his promise TO vote for re.
vision of the house rules, ETC., and
win make II clear that he would have
allied himself with the democrats by
such action. on that account, we
have assurance Of getting the endorse
ment Of State Chairman Harris aud
his committee, as well as the endorse
ment Of the committee which conduct
ed McGuire's campaign two years
ago and is chiefly made up Of HIS per-
sonal workers,

ening before the meeting and join in

sary but be careful not TO invite any
