Republicans Only.
In view of the fact that the per
sonnet of this committee is all Republi
can it has seemed to us advisable TO
conhne our report and recommendations
to Republican candidates, leaving IL to
the business community, if il so desires,
to ascertain through the medium of an
other available material for Office upon
the Democratic side.
This committee urges that everyone
interested in the welfare of the com
munity and efficient government, enter
into the primaries in an endeavor to see
that good men are sent to the several
conventions at which the nominations
VIII be made. No movement for eff,
cient government can be successful un-
less all citizens perform their full duty
in this regard.
In view of the recommendation of
TINS committee respecting the delegate

report. The committee further desires
to report that through subcommittee
lt has been in consultation with the
