THAT A PLEDGE MEANT A PLEDGE.
He is not an orator or politician but he has taken great
big scalp for a small man.
His resolution TO put the len pei cent of the Forest Re-

is the first thing done in this legislature TO put any
money in the educational funds.
He has introduced only bill TO put ALL THE STATE
EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTIONS UNDER ONE BOARD.
That is what the State Grange demanded more indirect

Mr. Libby is Got taking up any time tanning the air with

He will probably be called down hard by the Machine poll
