THE NEXT CONGRESS

The new management Of the Republican
Party wishes to return strong majority Of
the four hundred and thirty-five members Of
the lower house who will be elected in No.
vember.
Everybody knows how congressional NOM
nations usually go in scroes Of districts:
x has a claim on the local party managers
for party services. Perhaps he is the sitting
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS at Washington,
but faithful to the party. has an ambition
to 60 to Washington, without anything very
convincing in the way Of demonstrated ca
pacity to base it on. z regards a seat in the
House as better job than his present law
practice.
Making one of four hundred and thirty
five members of the lower house-more or
leess gagged and caucused and infringed up
on by the President and Senate-is not an
occupation which ordinarily attracts men of
outstanding provide abilities, unless they
happen to have powerful penchant in that
direction. x, Y and z ght it out at the pri-
mares amid the indifference of half the vot-
ers Of the district, who regard it as fairly
negligible matter.
But it is not negligible matter now Lives
your sons life-and hopes-the highest
hopes of the nation and Of the individual
may hang upon those four hundred and thir-
ty-ve members Being one of them now is
job worth the best there is of ability and
character in every congressional district.
The spirit Of patriotism runs high and
strong. There is willingness to serve and
sacrice in national cause such as this gen.
Grafton has seen nothing like. Men who
could not consider the proposal ordinarily
may be got to stand for Congress now.
Let the Republican management forget the
old game and exert itself to bring out set
of candidates worthy this great OCCASION
with no regard to what party services they
have performed in the past or whether they
care rap about mere party services. A
party management that is capable Of rising
to this occasion can put the congressional
