cal cares and worries last week and
went hunting in Kentucky. He viii
be gone ten days or two weeks. IL Is
lucky that the election is over. be-
cause there Is cry OF indignation
from the sportsmen OF the state now
because hunting has been prohibited
owing TO the foot and mouth disease.
II Is quite likely that had this order
against hunting been issued and the
quarantine enforced before the cleo
ton. the governor would have been
blamed for IL and he would have lost
the hunters votes as well as many

Governor Cox intends 10 retire to

will assume charge OF his newspapers
again and enact the role Of a private

When Finley gives up politics will
lose an interesting character. He is
one OF the few men who can manage
with success a gubernatorial campaign

ley had large hand in the election of
Governor Pattison on a temperance
platform. and in the nomination and
election, the first time. of Governor
Cox. For years Finley was associated
with II. l. CARRIER. the latter being
chairman of the committee and Fin
ley secretary. Some time ago they
fell out, however. and this year saw
Finley managing Cox's campaign again
and CARRIER lining up the anti-Cox
Democrats for Willis.
