members tOuether to see now
GREAT was the opposition to MIR. {
Heald. We did not ask nor 90 we
think it wise to have them endorse
any candidate. And surely the
Every Evening did not think that
Sllch conference would result III
the endorsement of the editor OF
this paper as candidate for Con-
gressional honors.
This paper has never boomed
it's editor for political honors.
That is for the Every Evening
and other kind friends 10 do. As
matter of fact we are not look
ing for a position; we have job.
Our position is this. that the
members of that Legislature are
more in touch with the rank and
file of voters than any other rep
rrspntative of those respective
districts,
Not that their opinions are III
any way superior to any other
voter. but they certainly IN some
denrpe. represent the sentiments
of their constituents. They are
acouainted with their local c0ndl-
tons fal. better than it is possible
for the State Central Committee
to be. To get the expression OF
these men is no reflection on those
, in charge of the executive work
, Of the party. Rather by Il tree
= expression. could the party $ or
, ganization be better effected and
! be more confident of success.

This is a fair proposal to both

That is the opposition to VI

Of party leaders to take serious co
