At the naeeting held at tho Melrose Country Club Thursday even¬ ing preceding the election, Mr. Ederer was given a great ovation and wtti- greeted with trcimendous applause by the more than 900 men and women crowded into the main auditoriima ot the club. It certainly was a splendid tribute to the man, who has falthfullj served the citizens of the Third Legis¬ lative District at .Harrisburg for fiv& terms. The .action taken in Mr. Eder¬ er's case cle.arly showed the lack of leadership, because had there been a leader the unpleasantness that arose on this occasion never would have happened.
