futnre success. The Chtef hopes that

vention. The continual bickering
within the party lines,4s a source of
of annoyance, and will bring about a
state of affairs that will eventually
cripple the party. Let every voter go
to the primaries and cast his vote for
choice for delegates, and abide by the
result In this manner everything will
, be satisfactory.
