THE REST NOWHERE"

The state conventions are furnishing

vention has now reached It's final
stage. so far as the choice Of public
officials is concerned, and attention
has been concentrated throughout on
the single office Of Governor The rest
Of the state ticket will be filed hur-
rledly. The Progressive convention did
the same thing, being Interested solely

one gives a moments thought "a the

who. when the confusion is over, Will
take advantage Of the fact that the
eyes OF the public are turned else
where and fill out the ticket with ser
yiceaDe tools And when Election
Day comes these offices will receive no
more attention. People will vote nj
most without exception for tho head
~ the ticket and for whatever else
may happen TO be on It.
