democrat and. until that time, had al
ways been a democrat.
The 1909 Leg stature was dominated
by the republican party, and as ]
took an active part IN the measures

with Governor Ness y on many occas
ions, in the interest of legis aton
that was Of Importance to the people
Of the state. l, from the first, was

Having during the legislative SEES
sion. become deepy impressed with
Governor Vessey as a man and with
his work as governor, l nave since
that time paid close attention to the
administration Of the affairs OF the
state by him, and ! find that he has
always stood out In the open and
made a clear-cut fight for what he
thought was for the best interest OF
the people of the state, and he has
continually interested himself in get
ting acquainted with h needs OF the
people and the OF the state
