GUS and costly errors during the regu-
lar session. Mr.. Kanuha said he did not
agree with some of his fellow Senators
that the Governor was such a very bad
man. He had met and talked with
him three or four times and had always
found him fair minded.
1T was not the Governor who was
responsible for the refusal to grant an
extension Of the session, 1t was the
minority in the Senate" said Mr.. Ka-
nuha. They urged the Governor not
to prolong the session and this was
done to further the interests Of the
Republican party by putting the Inde-
pendents in a ridiculous light. The
Governor was pressed by the Republic

the people and the voice Of the people
against him should be heard.

good OF the people was smothered b!
the Independents. Why? Because, hat
the Republicans been instrumental II
