Prior to his departure on his south

Whereas, The development of home
industries is of first Importance to the

clare Saturday, August %, 1918, Made

quaint themselves with the excellence

Todd is vote-getter. This he has
proven beyond doubt. When he ran
for governor last year, many of the
wiseacres stated that on account of his
youth, Todd would run not better than
sixth, and possibly last, but when the
votes were being counted it developed
that Todd might possibly win, so close
was the vote, and was beaten only by
Ernest Lister and Judge Black, and
then by very small plurality. So
Todd is to be reckoned with in his
candidacy for the nomination, and it
will take a strong candidate to beat
him.
Tocd's public record is a good one
his character is above reproach, and
irrespective of his age, if nominated
and elected, he would make splendid
