It is no exaggeration to say that

people up yesterday, and that today the
Spokane saloonkeeper is the most

my" tells his readers, he is believer
in advertising, and the fact that his
four column advertisement appeared
yesterday in the newspapers Of the
state shows that "Jimmy's'' belief in
advertising is not wholly theoretical.
Durkin started into the gubernato-
ly that even he still considers his cam
paign at least a near-jolze, but in
"Jimmy's" manifesto yesterday there
was something which rang true, and
something which will reach pretty
close home to those voters who have
watched the prostitution of public Of
flee by unprincipled scoundrels.
In a state in which the so-called NOR
al sentiment gives every indication of
being in the ascendancy, Jimmy
Durkin, as a political force, is handi-
capped by his profession, but in view
of the curse of extravaganza and in
competency which has marked the
state administration for the past four
years, The Statesman can conceive of
such a condition of affairs which might
