shown his ability TO handle large af-
fairs, by developing and owning at
the age of AZ, one Of the largest pub
fishing houses in the entire country,
giving regular employment to more
than 600 people.
He looks upon the Governor e. the
state as the Business Manager Of the
states affairs, and he can be depend

the same ability, the same efficiency,
the same methods Of economy. the
same principles of square dealing and
justice, the same rugged honesty,
which has made his own business so
successful.
AS an editor and publisher he has

He stands committed to the lowest |
taxes consistent with efficient public |
service in growing state; fer the
elimination Of graz. n all it's forms;

jobbers and the pc litical leeches who |
feed from the public treasury; for |
abolishing the fee-grabbing system in |
all county and state offices; for the |
of all useless officials, |
clerks and commissions; for the re-
duction of excessive salaries and ex-
travagant appropr.ati ons; for less |
technicality and more justice in the !
courts; for legislative acts free from
loop-holes and jokers; for an inherit

$25, 900: for the printing of school
books by the state and distribution
at cost; for strict and impartial en-
forcement Of all laws-in short for a
clean and straight policy in handling
the business of the state so 9: tc

est number.
Arthur Capper does mot pose as a
statesman and he will not use the Of
ice as Governor as a stepping stone
10 another office. He will not attempt |
o build up a personal machine. He
s making no revolutionary promises; |
put ~ -,o-. I.;. nlsner IDEAS "a I"o /
