The report in Yesterdays News and
Courier relating to the election OF the
secretary to the Executive Committee
reads as if there was factional divis.
ion in the selection of this officer, but
such was not the case. The Smith adher.
ants have majority OF four on the com

Gliding vote, not because he was a
Blease man but because he has has

Gliding vote. We are certainly glad to

regard for merit than for faction afil
