Stokes Urges Unity Through Primaries and Ballot Trust
Dr. Stokes argues conservatives must reach voters in primaries and accept the majority will to restore party unity. He calls for a fair field, calm discussion, and a three count in primaries with absolute acquiescence to the majority verdict, warning against personal vilification and press manipulation. He links labor discontent to broader economic strains and urges patience, transparency, and respect for diverse views to heal divisions. The piece also notes related political discussions and farmer alliance signals from national figures.
