ter b his party as ex-senator Allen
says he Is, he is a good enough man for
any man to vote for for governor.

Ord Outs: What kin Of a man is Mickey
in his private lifs7 What as q business
man and fazmer7 What In patriotism and
citizenship Well, he will take all these
good qualities into the governors chair
with him.
Stanton Picket: J. H. Mickey has never
been a failure at anything. This is suhi-
cient reason why he must expect to receive
the opposition Of those who contend that
all honest men are blooming failures in a
business way.
Hayes Center Times: We have always
thought to be blind was one Of the worst
calamities that flesh was heir to; but the
fusion editors seem to enjoy IL, when they
extol the B. 4 M. attorney, w. II. Thomp-
son. as the anti-railroad candidate.
Columbus Times: John II. Mickey, the
republican candidate for governor, is well

preston.
Blair Pilot: When they talk OF defeat
ing Mickey for governor this fall they are
talking shout defeating one Of the best
men ever put on the ticket. Well. it's all

Center Outlook; II Is somewhat amusing
to note what Efforts the fusion press put
forth to prove nrst one thing and then am
other about Mr.. Mickey the republican

Am lons. thsfOh I'm called to de ministry"
