didate in Indiana, visiting every county
and every town of any considerable size
in the entire state, His sincerity, aggres-
siveness and ability so impressed the peo-
pie that his election was assured long be-

His administration In Office has been
such as to win the confidence of all the
people and great pressure has been
brought to bear upon the governor to adj

office to which he was elected, and that
to care for 1t properly required his time

desired it.
Friends of the governor say that his one
ever burning ambition is to be a good
governor and to be regarded as such by
the good people of Indiana
