shake hands with those who pressed
forward to meet him.

collegians gave the governor a cheer.

be discussed in this campaign are so
tremendous that they can hardly be
handled in speeches from the rear end
of the train" said the governor. ''They
are too big-that is the long and short
of the matter. By the time you get
) started and begin to explain yourself
the train moves off. would o great
deal rather make your acquaintance
than leave compound fracture Of an
idea behind me.
