YOUNG PRAISES
SAM Y. GORDON

N 4
E. 7. Young, candidate for the re
publican nomination for governor
pays the following tribute to Sam
Y. Gordon:
Statements have been circulated
to the effect that q war of words
was going on between Mr.. Gordon
and myself, in which I was circulat-
ing his record, and accusing him of
responsibility for the failure Of GER
tain legislation at the extra session.
This is wholly untrue. Instead OF
criticizing MIR. Gordon's record, i
claim he made an excellent record
as presiding officer OF the Senate,
and also claim ii ii the veriest pol
itical rot to accuse him OF response
bility for the failure ofreapportion-
ment.'
There are evidences each day OF
closer alignment between Young,
Gordon and Lee. for the purpose of
focusing the progressive vote upon
these turee gubernortorial candi-
dates.
