seven men from Republican states and,
of the seven states, in six no primaries

Il do not for one moment believe that
the convention will ratify this action by

would be to betray the cause OF the peo-
Pile, to be false TO the fundamental prin-
cpIes of good citizenship and American
democracy, and to wreck the Republican
