band wagon and heralds his name
to the voters as a candidate for O
seat in the lower house of the
next general assembly.
He deserves promotion for the
manner in which he pre-
sents himself tor civic honors.
He ought to reach the goal ofhis

frank and open in his methods,

now inaugurated he not only
wants but is anxious that the
people should thoroughly under
stand his position on all matters
