announced his intention to become
a candidate for president if the
majority of his party wants him.
He will kick up a pretty fight in
the republican camp and one that
will not end at the national con-
vention. IT will now be in order
for practical men," like tho late
f. II. Hartman and IN alefactors
of great wealth" like J. 7. Morgan
to rally to his standard. OF all
the political hypocrites that ever
cursed this country, Theodore

There is considerable talk of
extravaganza in the administration
OF the state government. The
publicity commission is said to be
the chief sinner in throwing away
the states money. According &c
the figures published in the Reno

for the use Of the commission is
about gone. The purchase Of
automobiles. gasoline, railroad
fares, advertising in the Sunset
magazine, and other high pressure
items have used up the money.
And where has the State benefited?
Commissioner Norcross. please
answer.
