HOW REPUBLICANS CAN WIN

The following is taken from a recent issue of the LouisvilleHerald

Editor Herald <

I noticed in yesterdays Louisville Evening Ppst an expres ¬

sion by the head of tho Republican machine l n which he saw vie ¬

tory for the Republicans in the next State election I wish to saythat the people also see victory ahead providing the choice of thepeople for Governor is nominated The machine certainly cantake the credit for our defeat in the lust State election x

Yes our party is on the boon andevery day brings news otthe splendid and steady growth we are making But who isrepponfiible for our prospective success Certainly not the machineIt is the confidence the people have in President Roosevelt and hisstand against the machine in Federal appointments Yes we canwin the next State election if we nominate men like Judge Harlrtnor A E Wilson uHfG JORRItJ
