the majority Of whom, including Chair
man Wells. are renominated and on
the ticket for reelection.
Tie chances are ten to one that the
appropriations voted by the Repub.
ican legislature and approved by Gov
lrnor johnson are necessary and for
the states best good and development.
Carefully considered and threshed
ever by ITO legislators of various and
opposing political, sectional and indus
trial interests, and then unanimously
supported in two houses, except by the
two lone members who were doubtless
disappointed on certain items demand
ID by them, and finally approved by
tho governor, the appropriation bill re-
eeived at the last session far more
thorough going and competent consid-
Drat1on than it is likely to receive at
The hands of a single politician up for

But the peculiar situation which
benfroats Mr.. Jacobson is this: Hav-

b racant or make good; and If he
makes good, hs must make q fight on

Heted. He must make fight also on
he record and the legislative actions
o4 the hfty-one senator's who voted for

It will then be up to the voters tc
decide who was "extravagant""-the
legislature and Governor Johnson for
icing what they considered their duty

Candidate Jacobson for talking too
much.
