Joseph Bobleter as the next Republican
candidate for governor. Col. Bobleter
is good man, but it seems to us that

Not bit too early, Bro. Lamphere,
if we propose to conduct a campaign of
principle. If we are to 60 on the theory
that the politicians are to do all the en-
gineering in the last few days, then
your surmise is correct, but it was with
the understanding that the people al.
ways had something to say regarding
the nominations, that the Review made

the reciprocity treaty with Brazil in an
unfair light before the public They
started out by saying that the treaty
would never be agreed to by our own
government, and, after the wind was ia
ken out OF that claim, they tried to
make the people believe that Brazil
wanted nothing Of the kind and would
never agree to reciprocal treaty. This
