ceived with much satisfaction here, and
people are now very hopeful quite san
guine, in fact. of success for the college
in the coming campaign. The committee

people of the state are pretty certain to

now that the governors action will prob
ably afford Congressman Howell an ex-

suspicion in the minds of many commit
