+ Governor Stokes says:

Former Governor Stokes says:
IT have had q large number of re-
quests In person, by letter, by petit
ton and by resolution to become q
candidate for the Republican nomina-
ton for Governor. I have decided to
ascertain how far these requests rep
resent real substantial public senti-
ment on this question, and to that
end I shall submit my name as a can
didate for the nomination for Governor
to the Republican primaries In accor-
dance with the laws of the State.
my attitude toward this honor
must be by this time well under
stood. 1 have. not sought 1t. / have
been Governor of this State, and for
me a second term awakens no selfish,
personal ambitions. The only incen-
tive I could have would be one Of
civic duty. If the people think I
can be of service in this emergency I
ana bound to consider their wishes.
Those wishes must first be expressed
ct the primary. If the voters think
some one else can serve them better
or as well, | shall be entirely content.
If they feel that / should be their
candid ate, and so express themselves
at the primary, / shall make the
best fight / can for the principles and
policies of the party from the day Of
the nomination to the day of election.
I am subject to the Party call, If the
call is made by the rank and file.
"As I am, therefore, a receptive and
not a self-seeking candidate, / shall
enter into no disputes or discussions
with anyone as to the merits Of my
candidacy. Thslanestiea leave en-. !
tirely to the people tc< Politics
is not a game, but a ssSauty in
volving responsibility and trust.
III am not an enthusiast wei the
modern custom that prevails of pro-
claiming my platform to the world
The people should make the platform
themselves. The Geran Law provides
the time and place when they shall do
1t through their accredited represent
atives. | shall, however, in the near
future issue q statement outlining the
work OF the Party on progressivemeas-
ures, and declaring In general what I
think the attitude OF the Party should
be on progressive policies and party
organization. The voters have q right
to know what l think the Republican
Party stands for and what 1t ought to
stand for, and l shall insist it must
stand for it i'll should De chosen to lead
it's fortunes.
This Statement is meant In no wise
to interfere with the ambitions of any
other candidate or candidates, nor is 1t
to be regarded as a criticism of them if
they prefer to take active means to
press their claims, and if any one Of
them should win, he will find IN me
a loyal supporter"

hungry. 10. some kind person left a big
pie on the counter. The girls debated
a while and finally decided that to eat

The attorney generals opinion clear
ly upholds the commissioner in his
ruling. The commissioner, in COM
menting on the decision said: An
adverse decision would have placed
the commissioners in a somewhat ris-
ky position. OF course, all honest,
conscientious merchants would have
properly tagged the goods before re-
failing them, but, unfortunately, like
all other class Of men, dealers are not
all honest and conscientious, and in
that event the consumer would be
without Protection, as it would be al
most impossible for an inspector to
run down every sack sold after it had
been delivered"
Under this ruling the inspector will
go to each car, see that it is properly
tagged and inspect the goods as they
have been doing.
