",
lat Union tried to explain why he is
unwilling to tell you how he voted
two years ago. while so anxious to
tell how he will vote on the 25th in
stant He said that at that time he
was a candidate for an office that was
administrative and did not think
that the question of how he was 90
ing TO vote was pertinent TO his can
didacy. Why was it not just as peril
ncnt then as now? Mr. Richards
claims to be voting for Governor
Blease now because he is close to
the masses of the people When he
was giving Judge Jones record.
which tended TO show that Judge
Jones had been too close to the rail
roads and other big corporations.
was II not more necessary then than
now for him TO declare himself i'm

whether he (Mr. Richards) would be
too close To the railroads i'm questions
involving the rights and welfare OF
the people? Mr.. Richards also stat
ed that while he had told no one how
he would vote he might have been
misunderstood. If Mr.. Richards made
statements to men on both sides
which practically suggested that he
was with them, it was equivalent to
saying he would vote with them.
