For an exciting political campaign
in which so many issues are involved,
both parties in this state have deport-
ed themselves in a very cOmmendable
manner. This election will determine
the complete control of the State Gov
ernment for at least four years, and
that means a great deal to the victor
iOns party. There have been the us

there has been less personality than
usual, and the pending issues. both To-
