The people or the state have a right to know any

mine during the last two years that needs the
slightest explanation that would cause the blush
of shame TO mantle the cheek Of any voter, be he

Speaking of the attacks or his policy toward
the hospitals for the insane, he said
Now they are sending throughout the State into
the homes OF all who have loved ones in any
of the asylums in the State and they are telling
them that these people are being starved that in-
adequate accOmnOda tionS exist. and that the Re-
publican party. in it's effort give TO you a low
tax rate. has taken away from them the means
necessary for their proper care and maintenance.
He finally made this appeal:
We appeal 10 you because we believe in educa-
tton, and we have added more money to your local
the state. Your Executive Is also pledged to a
better high school system: that its advantages shall
be accorded to the scholars OF every school district
that has no academy, without expense TO their
parents

and desolation stalked everywhere in our land.
