FRIDAY, AUGUST s, 1913.

One of the first things that the Re
puhlicans Of the state should do if they
wish to enter the approaching cam
Pal2n without a serious handicap is to
reorganize the state committee. 1t is
no secret that the committee as it is
now made up does not represent that
element of the party which must be
depended upon for future success. The
small amount of public enthusiasm
that the committee was able to arouse
last year is pretty good indication of
this fact. For the good of the Repub-
Iiean party-and The Reformer makes
the assertion from an absolutely indie
pendent Viewpoint-most of the men
who are now on the state committee
should step aside. Their opportunity
for political service viii he much
greater in case they do.
