THE governor OF our state AYERS that

that eX-Gov. Dyer. Adm II. Capron or
Lieut.. Gov. Jackson have paid money for
their offices.
There are times when the governorship
may be bought and paid for, and there
are times when the boss finds II necessary
TO put men of unsullied reputation before
the public. because he needs their moral
capital TO reassure the unthinking an1
tlmid good. For the latter reason that
there can be nothing wrong with our
state with such men at the head it is
impossible TO believe that tho present
