pie Of Washington that he has the character.
istics to make good business chief executive.
The recent Legislature passed . very exsrava-
CANT appropriation bill, and IL was left for the
governor to overhaul the appropriations and
reduce many Of them. A good business gov.
ernor IL worth great deal to the state Of wash-
ington at the present time. II he can do
nothing more, he can prevent the Legislature
from bankrupting the state treasury. and that

they have changed their minds concerning him,
they must necessarily believe that he has been
honest in the matter. The truth OF the matter
