his party had giveL HIM many years
of eXertmely profitable office holding.
Wouldn't the Just. grateful and loyal
thing for him to have done, to have
kept from creating any contest and to
have thrown all the weight of his per
Sonal and political influence to the
nomination of the man. upon whom all
elements agreed to unite? Instead Of
that, Mr.. uoldsborough again forces
himself to the front as candidate;
and as candidate whose Whole back

he appointed to public office. Gail

Go!dsborough candidacy and see if

office-holders of the Goldsborough al-
ministration. But the Republican
party made that administration pos
sible and their office holding possible
Certainly, then. it would seem that IN
their estimation and in Mr.. Go.dsbor-
ough's estimation, the party's welfare
should come first. 1t is a poor return
to make to the party, to try and create
discord in its ranks at a time when it
was becoming better united and equin-
ped for battle than in many years
Office holders have way Of forget
ting that it is only the party's welfare
and success that makes their Office
holding possible. They have a way Of
coming to think the party is their per-
sonal property instead of remember
ing that they are the benefciaries of
that party and therefore owe it the
best and wisest service Mr.. Colds
borough and his friends are making a
mistake-both from a personal and n
party standpoint.
