old aequainiances by defeating the
Democrats az the next election, which
is our first opportunity TO do so.
After the election, whether we have
succeeded or not, to agree on "A
certain day 90 call the two
respective committees separately.
each committee taklns care OF their
respective business without one in
terfering with the other. and then
lto call two county conventions for the

and the other by the Progressives
and when the two conventions ARE in

discharge OF their respective duties
20 agree that the two conventions

publican convention. And. that in
that convention the Republican PARTY
