A FEW THOUGHTS AS WE PASS

Governors race if he, or his Official
record, had been attacked during
the eubernatorial campaign, which
is NOT the case We believe the
people placed Judge Kirby on the
Supreme Court bench to DECIDE
QUESTIONS OF LAW; not to DE-
eide WHO SHALL BE COVER
NOR OF THE STATE.
::
Soon after Mr.. Donaghey went
into Office as governor he named
Mr.. Kirby, who had been his oppo-
nent before the primaries, as spec
ial counsel for the state in some
