honesty and 7HieUing Methods, but seems
to be all Alone.
EXTRACTS FROM INTERVIEW
Says Title to office is Sacred Title to Property
and Should be Respected
to be all Alone.

1t was just as clean a campaign as
as we knew how to make it; fought
squarelv ON issues aud without any
resort to questionable methods.
The bugaboo of the governors
veto is myth, Our government is
government of checks and balances.
It's a wholesome thing to have the
possible radical action of one party
curbed in measure by the presence
of another. | am perfectly satisfied
in my own mind that any reasonable
legislation which we may pass will
receive the approval of the governor.
! am also satisfied in my own mind
that this teverish desire to secure
two thirds majority of both houses is
prompted by anything hut motives Of
the purest patriotism on the part IF
the irresponsible lobby who are urg-
ing it. The people can't reach the
lobby. But the people can reach the
responsible members OF the house
who are now being urged to take the
first step in a course which feel to
he filled with peril
AGAINST JAMMING''
No state-ever more sorely needed
the earnest aud patriotic service of
its Legislators than we do this year,
and am against jamming contests
through the legislature without an
open hearing in the house which shall
be equally fair to contestants and
contestees.
PROSTITUTION" OF POWER
am Republican through and
through, aud haven't the slightest
faith in democratic doctrines as ap-
piled either to the government of our
country or our state. But cannot
conceive Of any necessity confronting
our party which would justify it in
prostituting its power, This legisla-
ture was elected for the purpose Of
forming and shaping "a state 1t is
my sincere hope that two things more
than anything else will result from it's
effort. First, that the best men in the
state will lend themselves to its con-
tinued service; and, second. that the
men who serve the state will give it
the very best that is in them. There
is no surer way to make political
service contemplate in the eyes of
the people than for great party to
degrade itself by pursuing question:
able ends bv still more questionable
means"
