OUST WARNER AND COLEMAN

{LEAD} The declaration by Marshall Coleman of this candidacy for the Senate and Sen. John Warner's endorsement of him are de facto renouncements of the their membership in the Republican Party of Virginia , and references to them as Republicans constitutes a lie and thus a disservice to the public.

I call for all good Republicans to write or call the Republican Party in Richmond and call for the public denouncement and offcial ouster of Warner and Coleman.

{REST} We need no Democrtic Party "Fifth Column" in the ranks of the state Republican Party. They are without honor. Cast them out.

Marshall Coleman and John Warner have thrown down the gauntlet. As Republicans, let us pick it up as one, united to see Oliver North elected; and let us see if Messrs. Warner and Coleman have the stomach for it.
