The republi- cans needed an excuse, but the best excuse they could make would be tc commit suicide and bury themselves in Chicago.
 H. F. Palmer when called upon spoke in praise of the character of the mer who had been put on the ticket. He felt great encouragement from the tn- formation that had been gained at this meeting and he looked forward to 2 good and substantial growth by 1916 It is up to the party now to stand by it's colors.
