governor Brown VIII Win.
A large plurality. IL not majority, is
anticipated by the Republican managers
for the state ticket. Governor Brown may
confidently expect a Reimbursement from
the people, not only on account OF his
faithful and generous fulfillment OF the
executive duties during the past two
years, but also because OF his bold stand
against the lawless Democrats of the
house of representatives. No governor
since the constitution was adopted has
had TO face such trying conditions, and il
is admitted by all except the partisan
leaders that Governor Brown has met the
situation with dignity and frmness. To
all absurd charges OF usurpation and
revolution the endorsement of the Repub-
lican policy by the supreme court Is
sufficient answer.

Many Prohibition voters will support

interests, which will not conflict with the
industrial welfare OF the state. While
the candidate Of the Democratic party
for governor, David $. Baker. Jr., has
few public faults. there Is no reason
why he should receive the support Of
the citizens in preference to man who
has served the state well for two years,
and whose experience will be Of great
value during a third term.
The assertion that Mr.. Baker was en-
titled 20 be governor last year Is ipcor-
