from Louisiana and other sugar
States were cndeayoring to rally
enough strength to defeat the Fresl'

The Senate leaders were going over
all contested PARTS OF the hill SO they

they can accept It without change. The
action of Chairman Underwood in
turning the bill over to the Senate for

Other leaders insisted they should

Party Union and Strength.

The end of party organization is

disgrace In honest defeat. neither is
there dlshonor in disorganization after
the work OF party has been finished.
II was predicted that the split OF the
Republicans would have this outcome.
The contrary has been true. The forces
OF integration are strongly at work
throughout the country The Republic
ans who adhered to or who dissented
from the organization are getting to-

that II this process would bring back
