THE PRIMARY
CAMPAIGN
Curry Rrises As Peer
Over All the Other
Candidates

The primary campaign is in it's last
stages. AS in every previous political
contest public sentiment is crystalliz-
ing in favor of singe candidate to
the exclusion of the others. That in
definable tendency, which inevitably
sets in toward one aspirant and makes
him an overwhelming popular favorite
is at work and out of the maze of
popular claims Charles F. Curry has
risen as the overwhelming choice of
his party for governor.
The politicians of Californa are
reading with intense interest an inter
view which C. E. Clinch of Grass
Valley, has given to explain his reason
for his unqualified and enthusiastic
support of Curry for governor. Clinch S
reasons are those of thorough bust
ness man, an observer of wide expert
ence and critical student of public
affairs. Clinch is a prison director,
vice chairman of the Republican State
Central Committee, merchant, fruit
man and public spirited citizen O f the
state. He has been mayor of Grass
Valley and is in intimate touch with
the trend of public opinion.
His reasons for supporting Curry
should be read by every republican in
California. His interview in full is as
follows:
tine impression being circulated
that the members of the state central
committee are urging the nomination
of Anderson alone is wrong" said
Clinch. Several members of the
committee are advocating other candi-
dates. l, for one, am advocating with
all my power the nomination of Curry.
Curry is the best man for the office.
l admire him and believe him of all
men now seeking the nomination for
governor on the republican ticket to be
the best fitted for the position. He's
better able to conduct the office than
any other candidate.
'No man in California is more in
timately acquainted with the state S
affairs than Curry. l have reason to
know this in my capacity of prison
director. am fully convinced that
Curry will be the choice of the repub-
licans at the August primary election.
If he is judged by his record in office
he is best qualified by experience,
training and temperament. He is the
one man on whom republicans car
unite to-day without having cause
afterward to regret their action. He's
not factional candidate, neither is
he machine candidate. He has sup
porting him many of the most high
minded men in the state. Capitalists,
merchants and workingmen are bel. nc
him.
"Union labor is nearly a unit Fl
Curry. That he is regarded as t.iC
workingmans candidate is proved by
the way union labor organizations are

WORDS

Words are lighter than the cloud foam
Of the restless ocean spray;
Vainer than the trembling shadow
That the next hour steals away.
BY the fall of summer rain drops
Is the air SO deeply stirred;
And the rose leaf that we tread on
Will outlive word.
Yet, on the dull silence breaking
With lightning flash, word,
Bearing endless desolation
On its blighting wings, heard
Earth can forge no keener weapon,
Dealing surer death and pain,
And the cruel echo answered
Through long years again.
/ have known one word hang star lik,
Ger dreary waste of years,
And it only shone the brighter
Looked at through a mist of tears;
While weary wanderer gathered
Hope and heart on lifes dark way
By its faithful promise shining
Clearer day by day.
| have known a spirit, calmer
Than the calmest lake, and clear
AS the heavens that gazed upon it,
With no wave of hope or fear;
But storm had swept across it.
And its deepest depths were stirred
Never, never more to slumber,)
Only by a word.
l have known a word more gentle
Than the breath of summer air;
In a listening heart it nestled,
And it lived forever there.
Not the beating of its prison
Stirred it ever, night or day,
Only with the hearts last throbbing
Could it fade away.
Words are mighty, words are living
Serpents with their venomous stings,
Or bright angels crowding round us,
With heavens light upon their wings
Every word has it's own spirit,
True or false, that never dies;
Every word mans lips have uttered
Echoes in Gods skies.
