guidance of the Divine Father in
Heaven and wherever you find man

Let me say Very definitely and very
plainly that there are some people over
the State who claim that they canont

the problems that are pending, and
some of the issues that we are contend

Frank McClain. the candidate for
Lieutenant Governor. went after the

ministration was $100,0OO,0O0 more than

revenue derived from this measure for
the year 1914, is S60.70O.00O. and the

the free trade bill, has been made
further insufficient by Democratic eX-
travagance in the conduct of govern
ment and now they propose to give us
another tax, which they, to fool the
people, call a war tax
