REVIVING THE PARTY

A meeting of a number of Republican party leaders
was held in St. Paul this week for the purpose OF effect
ing Republican party organization which would revive
some of the desirable features of the old style party
ganization Unfortunately the meeting had the appear
ance of being gathering of ''has beens and superhc
alIy such criticism might be passed 1t included many
men who have missed the modern spirit, men who have
given the Republican candidates of late little support If
any, and men also who freely criticised the elimnaton
convention of last winter. However, have no desire
to oin the ''anvil chorus this gathering of Repub
cans but prefer give them credit for an attempt to
bring some kind of order of the political chaos
In due time this country must get back to responsible
nartv government but before that time there must
he sone poneerng done of the kind that the elimination
convention was intended to be and of the KIND this
gathering was intended be- The party must have an
organization which bigger than the candidates instead
of being created by the candidates. that the people
can have something to say about whom the canooates
shall be instead of being limited in their choice to self
selected candidates.
The present effort will nothing at all unless
anv more Republicans who in touch with the
modern spirit persuaded to take hand and even
then it may be failure As before stated. there is
deal of pioneering to be before the desired result is
attained.
The problem is to work out party organization
which will both be effective and will also be respon-
sye to the will of the people.

have become settled Immediately at
ter they have been gone over with the

having many sidewalks either built or
repaired Which include North street,
