Candidates Galore

Still another candidate came out
this week with a long drawn out an
nouncement regarding the governor
ship. II touched upon so many points
OF interest to the state that The Era
was pleased to grant the request OF
Lieut-Gov. Frank Il. Howe for space
to get into touch with the people
The platform of Candidate Howe is
we'll worth reading by those who
want to know what real progress
sivo Republican would do for his
state were he permitted to exercise
with full sway, the privileges of gov
ernorship.
One OF the revolutionary things pro
posed is to do away with the Senate
This would be all right and fit in bet
ter with certain notions of ours il
the quality OF the representatives
could be improved. There are few
but what arc ready to admit that one
house is enough, provided it is made
of the right material. OF course, Gov
Howe couldn't have expected that
ouch a thing would ever come to pass
in his bad pycotechnic and such II
will be considered.
There are many other things in the
document that will bid one pause
but we haven't time or space to pass
upon them just now.
When The Era stated sometime age
that time would develope candidates
galore, it was satisfied that it was
simply stating the truth. There are
now three of them in the field and II
will take state convention to name
stand bearer for the dear people
and a fierce fight according to oul

state. but this should not deter him
from making as strenuous an effort
as his time will allow, and his friends

interested in the welfare OF the Com.
