The assassination of Schcvket paSha
il said to represent a desire on the part
Of 4 political party to get rid OF the par
tv known as the Young Turks. 1t vii be
remembered that the Young Turks them
selves did a little bit Of more or less
malicious assassination about the time
Of the meetings Of the first peace con
ference to settle the Balkan row. They
killed the ableSt general the Turks had.
Nazim pasha. They broke into the gov
eminent just in time TO defeat any hopes
there might have been f peace at that
time. Whence there must be Il LIT of
people in Turkey who are tired Of the
Young Turks. Still, assassination is
not a good political argument. 1t may
serve to express a sentiment, but it does
not convince.

opponent of Link McCandless n the

primaries for the delegateship nOni'
