The friends of the different state can
didates are making strenuous efforts to
put their favorites in the most favor
able light before the people and thous-
ands of circulars are being scattered
all over the state. The funniest part
about this is they are raking up the
record of each other and pointing out
the many errors made during the
administration of the said candidate.
These things were never thought of
before. AS governor, Mr.. Longino
might have stolen the state and run
off with it and there would have
been no record coming from the other
side. But as 1t is every cent that
we Mt into the treasury which he had
anything to do with is now carefully
compiled, put into large type and sent
out to nearly every voter in the state.
Of course all the statements are mag
nified and the voter is caught mapping.
He is confused and is not certain that
the million dollar state house is still
standing where it was built or that
the governor is carrying it around in
hs pocket. But all the people are not
to be fooled all the time, and while
a great many of them may not in these
figures and facts" concerning the
past record of the governor they cam
not see wherein he has done any great
harm and they will vote for him.

The island of Formoza, 300 miles
north of Luzon, has been so man
aged that it has been a source of rev.
enue to Japan in each of the seven
years since it was acquired by that
country. A government monopoly
on salt produces $35, 900 a year, and
on camphor and opium about $4,000
600 each. The camphOr monopoly
may suffer, as did indigo culture,
from its production artificialiy in
Germany.

One of the great, serious objections
TO the present primary law is the
fact that the state candidates can and
are being robbed in broad daylight by
the county executive committees.
They can charge any price for the
state candidate to get his name on the
ticket on the plea that it helps to bear
the expenses of holding the primary
election and so far as heard from no
county has failed to put on pretty
heavy tax, averaging about two dol
lars. There are seventy five counties
in the state, costing the state candi-
date about one hundred and fifty dol
lars each to have his name put on the
ticket. This is a big tax, and there
can be but little doubt that at the
next session of the legislature and
effort will be made to repeal this sec.
tion of the primary law.
