The convention adopted platform
which begins by charging the repubH-
can nominee for governor with secur-
ing his nomination through the active
efforts OF employees of the state; he is
leading the people in pretending hos

their friendly assistance in furthering
his personal ends. The platform con-
dennis "the shameful traffic in the
nomination of the state superintendent
of public instruction entered into by
