A Campaign story.

The Register, published at Mountain
View, CAL, says that q candidate was ad-
dressing an sssemblsge Of farmers near
Gilroy, trying to illustrate the advantage
Of electing competent men to Office and
paying good salaries. "Now, you can buy
. COW for $40. but you can get q better one
for $50. you can hire a schoolmsrm for $40
9 month, but it pays better to pay $65 for
. good one. Your cheap cow WON'T give
much milk. and it is the same with your
school teacher" This brought the house
