Inediately went to work for his candidacy

third OF them"

working against Nelson because he had
e hand in removing Ex-Governor Finney /
from the board OF railroad commission /
ers Nelson has had two terms and he /
IS no better than anyone else that he I
should have a third term. 1t seems to (
me that Mr. Sinclair is rather losing out /
in his race for state superintendent.
