State Master George A. Fuller has
set a good example for all grange Of
ficials in the emphatic statement which
be issued when 1t was reported in the
daily press that he had been selected
by the Hearst managers for the posi-
ton of state treasurer on their
ticket. Mr.. Fuller said. II wish it TO
be distinctly understood by everybody
that | am not candidate for any pc
litical Office Of any nature, nor will
accept any political Office from any
party while hold the position of mas
ter OF the state grange" There is no
other defensible position for any i'm
portant officer IN the state or national
grange to take concerning political
office. Never can one who does accept
such political recognition hope to avoid
criticism. just or unjust. 1t is wlsest
to avoid every possibility of an en-
tangling alliance While it may be
true and has been true that high officers
in the state grange have filled high Of
fees. politically, with honor to them
selves and to the grange, they have not
been without criticism as to using the
grange for political purposes. The
ehasm between the grange and partisan
politics would better be left unbridged.
