GREAT PLEA MADE
BY MR.. SUTHERLAND

tween the two parties for control OF
the late Junior" Browns seat In
the House Of Representatives as of
national Importance and Significance
from whatever angle 1t is viewed.
The personal ambitions Of the two
candidates are Of little importance
In this contest" said Mr.. Sutherland.
The party's the thing-not person
alities. George NJ. Bowers sta;ads in
this fight as the chosen representa-
tive OF the party, symbol OF all il
stands for in respect to principles and
policies. His defeat In itself would
be but personal matter. a hurt that
would soon heal, but in the larger
aspect, It would be a calamity to the
Republican party just now OF ma
tional proportions. I feel that the
voters Of our party In the district
will not let this happen, but that they
will recognize the immense, the
prodigious, proportions Of what this
special eleetion means to their party.
and will rally at the polls and redeem
this district which, since 1910, has
been lost to them"
Mr.. Sutherland made no reference
whatever to his own candidacy for
the senatorial nomination,
