We notice in reading our exchang-
es that except for few extremists,
that the general tone Of the country
press is getting to be very conserva-
tive in the matter of candidates and
factional differences. Most of those
who have particular preference for one
or more candidates are contenting
themselves with sounding the praises
of the preferred and letting the other
fellow alone. A very large part of the
state press as yet are not saying much
about any candidates. 1t begins to
look as though the Republican press
had begun to see where the forks of
the road lead. - Pioneer Express.

same pay and the roads want to de-
crease the pay in proportion to the
number of hours. The law was to 20
into effect on March list, but the rail-
way people ask for more time. The
