Let no one Imagine for minute that
frank Eddy is fool enough to believe
We ne can De elected governor or
i niiiiIiesoea, and that he has announced
nlInselr as q candidate with that hope

as stalking horse in the interest Of
the van SAINT Office family The pie
eaters at the Van SAINT counters in the
state capitol faTe9become SO crazy for
more OF the safHertsort that they have
pushed the undesirable Van SAINT in
Inc front for another term. And since
they feel certain, that the Republican
nomination Is equal to election, they

Press and objects to Frank M. Eddy
because he wears no collar at all. Yer
lily, the politician has hard row to
hoe.-Warren Sheaf.

raised the PERSONAL property assess
ment all over the state so per cent. 1t
