that we have the fullest possible
knowledge of the policies of the

are not engaged in partisan politics,
but there are certain principals for |
which we stand and there are others
which we are against as being in
furious to our agricultural Interests. |
AS consequence we are desirous CT |
knowing where the various candi-
dates for state office stand in regard |
to these things; and will you kindly |
answer the following questions at !
your early convenience that / may get
your reply before the grangers of
the state for their instruction and
guidance in choosing theircandidates
fer office;
'First-Do you favor. and if elected
will you endeavor to procure during |
the coming session of our legislature, |
4 public utilities commission whose
business it shall be to supervise all

during. the coming session of our leg
slature a board of control to have su-
Dervision over all state eduoation,pen-
II and charitable institutions in place

you.
The miniature edition of The

ain Water day when all of us cele-
brated the coming of our great wa
