inspire confidence in your promises and when the good people of this state swapped Caldwell & Drake for you, as financial proposition, it was like going out of the frying pan into the fire.
 Governor, why did you pay an archI- tect s50,000 for less than ten days work connected with our new state capitol which was nearly a thousand dollars per day? Why, governor?
 Governor, on page g. among other things. you used this language "It has now been worked down to a dem onstration that the whiskey men are determined to rule this state against the interests of the people" This is true. They control the politics of our state now, and this condition has been brought about under your administra- tion with the saloon people or gang" helping to further and boost every DO litieal ambition of your life.
 Did the whiskey people vote for you in your last race for governor? Yes.
 Did the saloon people vote for you in your last race for governor Yes.
 Against MT. Kayanaugh, an avowed friend of local prohibition? Yes.
 And, governor, you know that they are not going to destroy the bridge that has carried them over safely
 Governor, I am not a whiskey man. l do not frequent saloons. but now venture the assertion that the whis. key men, the gang" the machine, is for you now. Why shouldn't they be? They were built up and have thrived under your administration.
 Governor. in your epistle, on page 5, you say, in substance, that a cer. tain senator was complaining bitterly because he had lost s1,500 by voting for certain bill and that an attorney for certain large corporation said his corporation had been assessed over $iO,OO0 as it's part of poodle fund to defeat certain legislation.
 Governor, why don't you, as the peoples governor. take the people into your confidence and tell them who that senator is and the name of the large corporation that was assessed for more than S10,O00 as part of a poodle fund so the people would not re-elect this senator? Why, governor?
 Governor. why didn't you go before the grand jury, or have the proper party go, and indict these boodlers? You could at least tell the people who they are, so they will be warned. The people are entitled to this information from their governor.
 Governor, from your epistIe. know you are well informed as to the cor rupt practices going on during our last legislative session.
 Did you, in any of your messages, call attention to this corruption dur ing the regular session of the legisla. ture? No
 Did you call attention to this cor ruption during the sitting of an extra session ill any of your communlca- sions or messages? No.
 Governor, take the liberty of say. Ing that you never would have called the attention of the people to this legislative corruption if you had not wanted them to honor you with the office of governor for a third term
 Governor, why do you ask the people to elect you to the third term? Don't yop know that only twenty-five men could hold this office as long as you have in a century-a hundred years? Just think of it. And yet you want a third term?
 In your epistle. an page ', you con tinue to discuss the "T' and U" bill, the corporations and tax dodgers"
 Governor. why don't you say 'us tax dodgers?" The people know you would not make a trap in which to catch yourself
 Now, governor, will not ask you about the vast amount of real estate
