The encouraging announcement has

to reach the head of the Gulf of Cali

also can he construed to explain the
operations of the Rock Island. which is
steadily reaching out toward the
south coast. hUt which a. yet has ap-
parently taken no steps to secure its

GOVERNOR TRAMMELL.

Out of the turmoil of politics. a.
ways unpleasant and frequently ugly
there come occasionally results thai
reconcile the most critical to the in
stitution as a whole, and such an one
is the nomination of Gov. Park Tram
nell.
People who do not fully agree
with all his public policies. and 9th
trs who opposed him or preferred
others for personal reasons, all
know, realize and will concede that
the tremendous vote cast for him
came straight and solely from the
bt lief and confidence of the people
in the man. Park Trammell spen;
little money. perhaps as little as any
kind OF sensible campaign covering q
great State could stand for; and he
made no warfare upon his OppO-
nents He campaigned simply as
Park Trammell. who had been hon
}; ed with other important public Of
hoes. and who had done his best to
serve the people we'll in them all.
,ad who promised if elected to do
IFS best as governor of his State.
And that was sufficient. The peO-
lie knew just where they were At
i. the time.
Such a verdict sets at naught the
omplaint that the people do no;
Xpress themselves intelligently in
Urinary elections. II proves thai
:ore depends upon the kind OF men
tho are offered than upon the abil- I
y of the people to handle the bal
