progressive, remedial legislation than

we come with deeds, with perform

to continue in the protection of the
rights of the people of this nation in

1--WE condemn the conduct OF the
present governor of this state in sub
versing the powes of his office to his
own personal political advancement,
for that purpose inventing issues
which do not exist and seeking to
avoid the civil service laws of the
state, entirely overlooking and in his
conduct ignoring the principles of eco
nomical craftsmanship so necessary
at this time to be observed and wholly
failing to give that unselffish service
and devotion of time to the perform
ance of his duties which the people
have right to expect.
1--WE are proud of our county
representatives, both elective and ap-
pointive. Each of them have made
good, and were we here to enumerate
specifically their official virtues and
attainments we could fill pages. We
could not, however, in words describe
as we should the excellency. the eff
