anced equally to the standard set b.
the public conscience. The voters OF
the state as well as the man had n
hand In it's making. What 1t Ia. 1t is
because OF the fact that the people
of the state have time and again
confidently opened to him the door
OF opportunity. Judge RobInsOn's
candidacy rests principally upon n
proved and widely recognized high
order of efficient public service. n
personal character that Is of as
equally high order, an mistaken con-
fidence on the part OF the people Of
the state has been shown time and
again, and Is plainly In evidence at
the present time. These are the
things that count TO win when the
merits of mere men contrasting for
official favors are the only articles in
the scales. This contest il strictly
case of that kind. The public, now
becoming Interested, SO understand
1t. There you have my reason for
the recent rapid advance made by
Judge Robinson's candidacy, and my
faith for predicting that he will be
an easy winner in the primary.
