republican convention, us to whether
or not he will change his original
plan. and accept the nomination for
representative In congress. the rcpub-
lican forces find little to do but
marx time. Leaders from every Sec
ton assisted In going rel all the
ground thoroughly, and thsn n Ten
tative plan was agreed upon. That
program, IL In declared, represents

no been divulged.
Two SoiTs Of Advisors
An important factor, which ought
not 10 be overlooked. Is hat the gov
ernur has two kinds Of advisors. Us

composed OF real politicians, who
while DESTROYS OF advancing the gov
ernor's personal ambitions. are not
unmindful OF the success OF the re-
publican ticket In November and can
understand that a compromise which
does not sacrifice vital principe. may
sometimes be OF the highest value In
a political campaign. In the rank
anu Tile of this class are to he found
n number endorsing the program sub
mitted to thu governor. the others
are composed mainly OF earnest ad-
mirers and bencficiarics OF the lar

Individuals having axe to grind. or
being opposed, on general principles.
