Indications are, however, that
many fishermen will take a day off
tomorrow, and try their luck. Deal
ers report large sales of fishing tackle.
Bait FISH Is also for sale in large guam
titles but minnows are scarce, and are
worth two and three cents each.

What IS wrong with our friend. The
Times? They seem to be ''Skeart" OF
our judicial friend Judge Ira Robin
son. We never knew the Judge 10 be
a candidate for Governor. and he
hasn't said yet at this time he will be,
but from Indications he Is gong ["
say before long. and il he makes that
announcement, in our humble judS-
ment. the balance OF the boys in
the state might as well keep their en-
trance fees in their pockets. as the
Judge will be a sure winner. And
then We doubt very much at this time.
Il conditions continue. whether our
Democratic friends would go 70 the
expense OF contesting an election. In
our judgment there is no man strong
er in the state today than Judge Ira
Robinson. The people want him.
Yours truly,
