didate for the nomination which
Murray is working to win. Mr.. Mill
Ter had sent Mr.. Murray d personal
and cordial invitation on behalf Of
the committee to attend and address
the gathering.
Murray granted that the Favored"
had as much right as he in this cam
paign, but denied that they had any
more right. He also claimed that
each and every candidate for sheriff,
surrogate. etc. stood before the
party's voters in precisely the same
light.
II grant said he, that it is proper
for an organization to have "A leader.
] demand. also that this leader
be selected and elected only by the
vote of the members of that organiza-
ton. The Republican organization
elected Herbert W. Taylor, who now
is chairman, and logically, leader of
the organization. Mr.. Taylor has
stated emphatically that the organi-
cation has not Endorsed the candidates
who claim, or for whom it is claimed,
that Endorsement by the organization
has been given them.
Il deny the right of any one two or
more men to form a small group and
attempt to take from the members of
the Republican organization the right
10 exercise their prerogative in the
selection of candidates.
I'VE are all in this race because we
have the right to be there. We be-
lieVe that the membership Of the Re-
publican organization is capable Of
Judging for itself, and win stand out
against the attempted uSurpatiou of
It's rights by any one or two men. We
believe that we who bear the brunt
of the fight twelve months in the year,
We who are glad at the success of our
party and regretful of it's defeats, are
fully awake to the fact that most of
our defeats have been due to bad
management in recent years, and we
believe that the time has come when |
we will throw off the yoke held out to
us by men who act more from expedi- |
ancy than from principle, and that we |
will stand together for the nominal !
ton of candidates who can be elected, /
and against the candidate selected |
as a kindness to the common foe of |
our party.
I'VE can elect our ticket from top |
to toe, but we must act in good faith.
and we must avoid the swapping
tactics which have been so often tried /
and which have as often failed. The
Republican party stands for fight
in the open. free field and no favor,
and we are Republicans"
