Nominate Good Men.

Our party should present al nomi-
nees men who will give square deal
to all alike. The time is past when
any other condition will be tolerated.
The party therefore must nominate
men whose records are stable-mor-
ally and otherwise men who are free
from the faint Of factionalism and the
brand Of the privileged few.
A concerted effort has been made
by those who could not use me for
their own selfish purposes TO misrep-
resent me. The result Is that some are
opposing me and what ] have tried
to accomplish who would otherwise
be with me In my efforts.
The ambition Of no man must be
considered to the detriment Of the
fundamental principles Of the Repub
licar party. This was my position ON
the last night Of the Legislative caucus
Of 1918 when a hopeless deadlock for
the senatorship was imminent. II We
cannot get our, own preference among
candidates we should take the, prefer
ence Of the majority, but we owe Il to-

victim of insane jealousy of a man
without manhood, and expression:
of sympathy have been lavishcd
upon her by friends and neighbors
