1t is q common remark-one that we
hear every day, even among the more en-
thusiastic Of Governor Bradley's admirers
that he is not qualified to intelligently
discharge the duties Of the Office which he
now fills, and for which he is a candidate
for a third term, in open violation of the
record of his party and his solemn pledges
to the people. Yet these same admirers
blandly tell US that, if not competent, he
always calls around him good advisers.
Now, in Gods name, if the duties of the
Office are to be performed by proxy, why
not trot out a member Of the Advisory
Council and make him Governor, holding
him directly and personally responsible to
the people for his official acts7 Give us
Governor General Garrard, or General
Bob Clark "a blatant Republican, or some
other member of the Gubernatorial advi-
sorry family, but do not seek to perpetuate
the authority of q weak old man, who
knows absolutely nothing Of the duties of
the high Office, except to subscribe his
name as directed.
