tiers that a committee of It's members
would be found unwieldy.

find here" Governor Christianson

on the horizon and that is over-confi-
dence. Many a battle has been lost

erted by those involved. am sure
that we will be able to overcome over
confidence and that we will be return
ed victors."

in republican victory was made in a.
letter from State Senator William F.
