join lodge and was handed a petition
printed by a supply house in another

WITH STING AND FORCE.

Ex-Governor McGovern, who ad-
dressed fair sized audience of ladies'
and>gentlemen at the Municipal Thea
ire last Friday evening, proved him
self star political campaigner. His
remarks were largely and fearlessly in
defense of his own administration,
against which reckless extravaganza
was charged two years ago by the now
Governor Philip and his campaign
helpers. McGovern's picture OF Phiipp
as candidate and Philip as governor
was highly entertaining yet stagger-
ing. 1t flashed on tho canvass pub
lcity of the ptiless kind. the DR.. Jekyll
and MIR. Hyde in politics.
The contention that Philip has
proved false to the people, but faith
ful to big business combinations and
heartless corporations was impressive
ly maintained by the giving of figures
and existing conditions. II was a cook
ing all right, well seasoned with pepper
and ginger.
In conceding that Mr.. McGovern
knows what he is talking about there
is only one verdict to be rendered by
the people serving as a jury on primary
day. which is, that Philip stands guilty
and ought not TO be returned to the
Office of governor. But why does Nc
Govern seek to again grasp the reins
of state government He has enjoyed
the honor for four years and time has
proved he served the people well and
that they realize the fact. He is right
in defending himself against misrepre
sentation, and right in exposing the
weaknesses of the Philip adminstra-
ton and its manpuvres to again place |
the state and her citizens under cor
poration control. However, to make |
more sure of the scalp he is after he
should have favored any move to avoid
a three-cornered contest
With himself eliminated as a candi- |
date by his own decree, and with his
coat off and working as he now is, but
in the interest of such good, compe
tent and reliable citizen as W. ii.
Hatton is known to be, Mr.. McGovern
would double the possibility of realizing
his desire and build up a monument of
and strength for himself.
