to say about it since Returning, s99and has:
a very Interesting observation this week,
to this effect:
Never went on an editorial excursion in

paper man. didn't awaken my sympathy,
when compared him to the newspaper
man who had held or was holding a po-
litical office. I see the latter scattering
ducats with lavish hand, sparing no ex-
pense for his personal comfort, and throw
ing his spondulics right and left, in his en-
deaver to be q good fellow. see the
former pinching every cent, accepting the
hospitality of the first, counting every dol
lar to make 1t go as far as possible, so
that his expense account wouldn't run
over his allowance for the excursion. It's
the difference between the favored few
and the hundreds of hard working editors,
who in many cases.. assisted to the best
of their ability in putting the offce-hold-
ing fellow in the way of getting the well
paying office. But that's the way of the

excursion there was a strong sentiment
developed for Pease as a candidate for
governor. Altho it is too early for active
campaigning, the veteran editor Of the
Union is understood to look on the idea

Ole G. Myran of Ada and Los Angeles,

''I have $1,000 to say that Eddy will be
the republican nominee for governor"
said Senator Myran at the Windsor hotel
yesterday. 81 don't believe they can beat
! him. He is very strong all over the state,
and I believe he can get the delegates
down in the first and second districts. He
and Dunn will draw their strength large
sly from the same people, and Eddy will
outnumber Dunn. I don't know whether
the governor will be a candidate for a
third term or not, but Eddy can be noni-
mated anyway
Senator Myran is very anxious to have
his $1,000 covered. He did not believe
Van SAINT would be renominated last year
but he has just as much confidence now
in his ability to call the turn on the
result.
Bob Dunn wauss in Grand Rapids on
business the other day, and was inter-
viewed by the Magnet of that city on his
candidacy for governor. He said:

political affairs In their bearing on next
