OUR NExr GOVERNOR.


{n the nomination Of its ticket the con.
<,btiou adopted the suggestions Of the edi-
l,ial article in the REGIsrER Of July the
i1sh, the very editorial that the senseless
e&ng Of chronic boilers attempted to use as
.okfcal capital against this paper. That
,kere NAV be no misunderstanding We
.ogete in FIJI the concluding paragraph Of
.{hf.srticle referred to. In speaking ofwhst
.ks ccuveution should do, we said:
IL must promulsate declaration OF
prhciPses in accord with the National Dem
.ocsatic platform. Ii mnst present ticket Of
aide bold aggressive young men, men who
>r,in sOcord with the progressive spirit Of
tie .age and with the ability to stamp the
.inpress of their progression upon the on
R&rd destiny Of our young State. We want
10 fossilated remains of an unfruitful past
tt pose as figure heads on the State ticket.
zWe d. not want men whose very souls are
rsdded to the issues of generation that
ssdesd and buried, and who can bring no
s<heering promise of better future. We
xsut man at the head of the ticket who
n nthe type Of our courageous young leader
81 the National canVass-s man Of
stcressive instincts, thoroughly imbued
m the spirit Of reform, man of
LIN independent character who can rise
"A tOye the circumscribed lines Of partisan
r5lticS when greater emergencies require
Il q man who has the moral courage to Sc
n fc pure administration of the State gov.
hmeBt in opposition alike to the menafes
lof rin. politicians and the establishments
al fanuiug time-seryerS, who has the abil-
iHl and moral power to carry his party up
IN him to higher planes of practical
I - teSmaEship-young, pure, able and ag-
<.RsSiye let our leader be-whether it is
Mr,kner or Wilson, or Fleming, or who
a b else Of our bright young men the party
n.y select-then We deserve to succeed and
q. Otherwise We invite defeat, we will
"a il, and moreover viii deserve It"
No other words could more accurately
kture E Wills WILSON, the nominee of
Democratic party than the language We
tte 81 on that occasion. He is clean limb
~ candidate. Pure and spotless in his
csaraCter, bold and aggressive in his in
<fnCtS, a man who has the moral courage
% secure pure administration of the State
goFernnent he is in many respects the
.tyPe of our courageous young leader in the
no6onai canvass, and possesses all the
elsmepIS of successful leadership. Of the
rknes presented to the convention the
RsCIs-ER means no disparagement to
~ claims Of other candidates, when we
s1s that wisdom dictated that a choice
Ahouli be made between Wilson and
ttnlkner. and to that complexion it did
cone. These two gentlemen represented
tie young blood of Democracy, and the
eleCdon OF either one of them would have
pl&eed the party on the plane Of progress
siqR and practical craftsmanship. The
pchination of Mr.. Wilson, as the nomina-
ti1n Of Mr. Faulkner would have
dshe, brings with it "the
cheeriHg promise Of a brighter
lncre' for the Democratic party of this
Siate. The friends who know him best
give assurance that he viii bring to the ad-
Of the State Government
conservatsm heroic devotion to Democrat
and a submission to the will of
~ people as well as the preservation Ofthe |
kfnity attaching to the office Of Governor,
" Nightly in contrast with the present !
,.>le Of affairs, that the Democratic |
'er.S can safely entrust its honor and purity |
y Es hauds We believe the Democratic |
.sdrty will unite in securing his election and
|ke REGlSrER gives him its warmeSt sup
