Show There nro many rumors floating around of what Is going to be done by the present state administration. Particularly Par-ticularly Is It rumored that no Republican Republi-can who favored tho re-nomination or Governor Wells Is to have any consideration. consid-eration. . Truth has this much to say. It favored fa-vored thcr c-nomlnatlon of Governor Wells because ho had made a clean, honorable and upright executive. Truth favored Mr. Wells from pure motives which meant no disrespect to any other candidate. It believed Governor Gov-ernor Wells when ho stated to his friends that ho was not a supporter or tho Kearns contingent. Many other Republicans did tho same and we do not consider that they or we committed commit-ted any political crime in differing with thoso who supported other candidates can-didates In the convention. Wo sny In all friendliness that If it Is intended to carry out a system of ostracism as Is rumored, such means war on nbout half of the Republican party, or probably a majority. If such a political was is prosecuted and every friend of Governor Wells Is to be ta-bocd ta-bocd and politically punished, It will bo tho political mistake of tho year. A largo proportion of tho Republican party nro Gentiles. Many favored Governor Wells, believing his statement state-ment that Kearns did not control him, and they aro likely to oppose this rumored ru-mored program and resent it hard. Wo suggest In all fairness and candor that tho administration should go slow. Such a courso as outlined if pursued will very much aid tho "American" party in tho effort which it will doubtless doubt-less make to carry tho city election next fall. |
