Johnson and also to Governor Eber-
hart. Speaking for the staff. he said
that the respect that Governor Eber-
hart had begotten for himself at the
beginning of his administration had
grown into deeper respect and last.
ing love. He had entwined himself
into the heart strings of the staff and
none had proved disloyal to him. This
was but symbolical of the wider way that
he had done this in the hearts of the
people OF the state, for they had said
it by $4,000 majority. While he had
made Il good governor, he would make
a much better one during the next two
years. The northern part of the state
has the greatest problems to solve.
