 I played an important part in 1t but because as an organization, we suc- ceded. There is not one man able to carry on as lone wolf. He needs the cooperation of all members of the party and that is what I got No one individual made those suc- cesses possible, it was the entire working personnel of the party. Asks for Harmony Pointing out several differences arose in the party he said time has proved they only worked for the bet terinent of the party. There was 8 difference in the first ward last night he said but added he doesn't think it was enough to prevent the losers from voting the straight dem- ocratic ticket in May. Those on a ,, losing side now may in few years be nominated for office and would want cooperation of all.
 T see nothing but much success ahead for the democratic party, if you carry on as you have done in the past few years," MT, Green stated.
