Referring to the office of judge of
probate, he stated that he had always
kept it free from politics, and has
made it point that it should have
no part in its operation what IS
done outside matters not y man who
is intelligent and out of politics
ought to exercise his privilege as a
matter of privilege and after eXamln-
ing into the situation he will of course
become a republican.
If there is corruption, we should
clean our own house and it is being
done. We have had competent adj
ministration and no benefit can be
seen for boiling the ticket There is
a better feeling here than while ago

aster should come it would result in
the statements of bad faith and lack
of effort.

in this district 40. 000. We
are governed people and It is
to the people that we must appeal to
get results. This country is the cx-
ample to the world.
our president, the peer of any man
who has ever held that office, has had
one of the most difficult experiences,
barring possibly Washington and Lin

congress, he said no congress ever
passed so much progressive and in

the people had right TO believe that
il would De carried out and it was

efforts stating that il is only by most
