proof, but citizens familiar with the
conditions which existed at that time
will generally agree that Mr.. Evans
and MIR. Smith each drew practically
his entire strength on the first ballot
There were 4z241 voters who in the
second primary had to choose between
candidates neither of whom was as
acceptable to them as some third can
didate would have been.
1t is some misadyantage Of this sort
which we fear in the governors race
this year, unless the anti Blease vote
can be reasonably well concentrated
on some one Of the. candidates
avowedly opposed to things which
have made the administration of the
present governor notorious. It. is
true that there are nearly as many
Blease men in the race as there are
anti Hlease men; but there is every
reason to believe that the Blease forces
will concentrate upon two OF the
Rlease candidates and let the rest 60
They can do that. Blease has los,
strength but - the elements. which are
for, him are. cohesive and organized
They will vote as their leaders say
vote.
II this plan is followed-and for
our own part we do not doubt hut
that it will be followed--there is a
possibility that two Of the Blease can
'didates may each receive upwards of
or better than $4,000 votes in the first
primary.
Us there any anti i-Blease candidate
for whom, that many votes can be
Inquired out in the first primary as
things look now? We don't believe
1t.
There Is every chance for the anti
Bleases' forces--the forces OF reform
and progress--to name the next gov
ernor In the contest this summer, but
1t will be an easy matter for them
to forfeit that chance if they con-
tinue to proceed as they are now
proceeding upon the theory that an
ant-Blease man is sure OF election
and that they can afford to scatter
their votes about as they please I'm
