Growing In Favor in SanfIOWeF

From every nook and corner of Sun
flower comes the glad news that the
people are turning to Noel as their
favorite for governor The people
know him and have that abiding faith
in him, which calls for their earnest
endeavor to elect him. 1t was Noel who
took the power of politics out of the
hands of few political bosses and put
it in the hands of the whole people and
they surely will not forget him for
that 1t was Noel, who, without
compensation or expenses, defeated
the C. O. d. whiskey traffic and deliv-
cred the people from such curse Al
that trade brought about, and it will
be Noel who, If elected as governor,
will look to the interests Of the people
instead Of the interests of corporations,
millionaires and bloated bond holders.
It will be Noel who will steer this
grand old ship of state off the rocks ol
commercialism and place it in the
channel Of honesty and manhood. MARI
the prediction; Noel will be elected
governor by the honest vote Of the peo
pie and his administration win b
marked by sane, sound laws that re-
fect that undying love that character
ICES man who lives for the love Of hi
fellowman and in te feai Of Almigty

fight with but never heard Of anyone
