OF State officers for October at the election

Butler and KeAraas v.

Butler Is simply an intelligent hoadluna.
He has no more honesty than his friend Hear-
ney, Is just as great a, demagogue and differs
ture and brains. Let Kearney be educated,
and in time he would be Butler; let Butler
lose his educational, and preserve his moral
qualities, and he would become a Kearneya.
There is nothing to choose between them ex-
cept that possibly Kearney, being the more
blatant and vulgar, Is probably the less dan
gerous, because more easily detected.
