BULLY FOR Phillip.

Governor Philip has certainly
struck popular chord by his attitude
of an uninstructed delegation to the
next republican national convention.
The last instructed delegation to that
body was a fair sample of assinine
imbecility in which delegates left the
convention and returned to their
homes, knowing full well that to stay
meant merely to vote and not assist
in nominating anyone, unless it was
to widen the gap in the dominating
factions and permit Roosevelt to fur
Their his meddlesome and vicious am

ton may not have saved the day had
they been uninstructed; but at least
they would not have been compelled
to follow instructions and continue

lated

further loans impossible, as Wall
