Edward Bromberg, stands forth in the round, but his character is not of adequate significance to dovetail insaneness of pageantry.

It also demands a leader which so far has seemed impossible. The best that the Republican Party can do today is to keep its form of organization and act with intelligence. However, if it retains its present characteristics, it must justly give way to a third party which will represent the vigorous opposition of youth and intelligence...
