 Zeppel1ns, however. being propell- el by hot air, are very much in fash lon, and no well-equipped guberna torlal camp is complete without hav- Ing few hangars full of them.
 The four camps of the announced are showing every evidence Of a fev- erish activity.
 About the Brough camp the univer- slty alumni are forming a solid phal- anx The newspaper men are ral- lylng to the standard of the man who Rails from as many places as he ex- poets to reign ever if he is elected governor Business men and advo- "ates of a new deal are enlisting un- der the Taylor banner.
