I believe it will be a mistake for us to try to get all of the former insurgents together again, but there are ten or twelve of us who can form a pretty good nucleus we can get support from someof the men who were opposed to us in the senatorial fight. It is a matter which must be delicately handled vital importance to the administration and the party..." he adds in the postscript: 'There isgeneral satisfaction in my District over the outcome of our light".
