he has a clear appreciation OF the needs of the peo
pie Of State and nation. and no doubt will make
admirable record in the Halls OF Congress- The party
is to be congratulated that it made such wise
lection.
It was an exceedingly happy thought that prompted
the convention to disregard the practice OF county
rotation and to nominate State Senator Charles r.
Miller Of this city for Governor. better selection
could not have been made Mr. Miller has been an
unquestioned success as bushes man. As a men,
Der Of she Legislature he compored himself with such
intelligence and fairness that he the confidence

publican standard-bearer in the great political fight
that is is ideal in all respects Il speaks we'll
for the delegates TO the convention and for the party
