Had IL been known what those dele

is imperative on every voter 10 see
just what the delegates propose to
do.
No Republican ambitious to go as
a delegate, who has the interests OF

itate to say openly just where he
stands. Only by demanding such
statement can the voter be assured
that he is voting for a man who will
represent him.
If the voter realized his importance
and power at this time, there would
be no need for farther registration.
Just now, more than ever before, ev-
cry citizen has a duty that equals his
duty on election day.
Get registered. vote for men who
will represent you at the convention.
Have a voice in the candidates Of your
party.
Above all. demand that candidates
for delegates come out in the open
