THE RACE FOR GOVERNOR.

The election will soon be here.
There has been little OF 90 change
since the very first. 1t has been
the "held against Blbo,- and
every possible influence has been
brought to bring about his de-
feat. The slogan Of his enemies
has been mo faction; peace and
harmony" Yet every anti Var
dsIsz, anti BsIbo zsaE, wikh
very few exceptions. is and has
been lined up hard and tight
from the first. In this county
the same old enemies Of varda-
man and Bilbo are Just like they
were in f9lf-''agin BiIbo;"
they don't care who they vote
for-just any body to beat BiIbo.
Yet they cry mo faction, peace
and harmony" But the voters
are not fooled. II they want to
do away with faction the best
way is for their faction, which is
4 very small part Of the voters Of
this state, is to join the BiIbo fac
ton and that will end it. But
they ara in the minority and they
can hope to win only by absorb
ing the Bilbo faction very big
JOB to do. But they have the
nerve and gall 10 try anything.
They were in a faction in 1911,
they can't deny that yet they now
say do away with factions.
Strange doctrine this is. In 1911
the issue was whether the people
bosses, the ringsters, the old
secret caucus manipulators
should buy men, corrupt Iegisla-
tors and Of all sorts ard kinds of
ugly things, or whether this old
gang should assume control rs
they did in the old convention +
lays. That was the issue in
l91f- The people settled that
Tery decisively. VIII the people
brow down their hard earned !
-ictory of 1911 and turn the state :
yer to the same old gang is the
sue this year-iust as much so
it was in 1911. We don't think !.
le people can be fooled; this old :
'cret caucus gang will deceive; s
iey WON'T fight in the open; I
ey won't tell you they belong ,
and yet subscribe to the same :
1 secret caucus faith but they HI
belong there ard they should Al
put there by the voters; the e
,ers must make them speak y
{. -
Another evidence Of the Gun gi
lg of this same old crowd IS dE
1t they are 50 thoroughly or 20
nIzed until they refuse to vote y. -
any man, any candidate, who e
not allied with the secret eau-HIi
; crowd. Test one out and
e. They vote a solid anti tick OF
!, get out. find one and see if y
icy don't do this And besides = :

III sorts Of excuses about not

lie stands. You had better shun
hat sort ef man; he won't do.
lie viii get into Office under false
'retense and every one Of them
hen forms 4 rucleus about which
his same old anti crowd will try
20 perpetuate their doctrine in
he years to come. /
They see they can't defeat Bill
DO nor Russell and they are now
IN every county in this state
trying to elect q legislature that
are enemies To Bilbo and Russell
and II they are elected will do all
they can 10 block legislation that
the people want and are entitled
TO- The people had better watch
their legislators; make them
speak out and see Just where
they sand Don't be fooled. II
a candidate Is ashamed 70 tell
you where he stands upon any
man or measure you had better
De ashamed Of hims He viii fool
you and y1u will some day De
sorry Watch your legislators.
