and we doubt whether Mr. Fitzpatrick
believes there is. 1t is doubtless true
that many individuals have and al
ways will express willingness to
help some friend in future campaigns,
as for instance when some candidate
is seeking a nomination for the first
time and is running against man
who may be holding the position and
is asking denomination and possi-
bly, under party usuage is entitled to
the same. 1t is frequently the case
to state frankly that one is obligated
but that next time he will be pleased
to assist the one who is making his
first effort. This is neither combining
nor parcelling-it is simply an easy
way out of what may be an embar-
RAISING situation and once the pledge
is made most men feel that it should
be carried out. We question very
much whether any one or any set of
individuals has attempted to more
than this.
The voters should take Mr.. Kill
patrick IS advice-go to the polls and
make the nominations.
