thing Senator James said he was,

by several Of the experienced leaders
at the convention that we had the most
wonderful organization they had ever
seen. Some Of our men replied TO this

but that each man was working for
love Of principle
The governor was greatly amused
when told that Mr.. James had a little
secret to tell him on August l."
