Lincoln above letter author Of certain
History of Windham County, and of the states most
publc-sprted citizens has frequently sent to communca
tons which hitherto have been unable to print owing to
their length and their RESPONSIVENESS rather than to the fact
that they frequently opposed to the opinions of The
Patriot.
In regard to the editorial which appeared weeks

its modification.
A. AS to the attitude Mr. Roraback and his delegation
the Kansas City convention, Mr.. Lincoln might remember
that late as Mr. joining the Hoover landslide
City Mr. Hoover took Office there has been
indication that the Republican state leader and his cohorts
have not stood sod the support of the President since ms
inaugmationunl the matter of Mr.. Alcoms appointment
preached Certainly this appointment is sufficiently
the organization to demand both its attention and
opposition In the matter of Mr. Alcorns appointment,
heartily agree with Mr. Roraback evident determination to
pose national interference which might easily lead such
an that three and half years hence would
cause President the loss of Republican votes and
render valuable advantage the party out Of nationally
and in the state
g. Mr. Rorabacks connection with public utilities has
no place the discussion. We shall be glad to print
anything that Mr. Lincoln has to in the matter only

In closing Patriot would demonstrate with Mr. Lincoln
for having written possibly in the heat of Jealous let
ter which in its expression is entirely out of keeping with Mr.
Ineops wears and experience Courtesy in controversy
is quite necessary to good manners
