their party affiliations and voted the Republican ticket in
answer to the menacng challenge of the setionists Look

prudently laid aside playing politics at this momentous
crisis in history the primary might have resulted in
disgrace and humiliation the loyalty state that it would
take many years to eface. Mr. Wheatons campaign was
conducted with decent and appreciation of such
possibility and he is therefore deserving of the fluctuations
of all patriotic citizens for his conduct the primaries
The danger of Townleyism and Lndberghism has been
thoroughly eliminated, and the campaign permitted to
proceed without their maodorous intrusion By of
his conspicuous ability and unimpeachabe integrity Mr.
