cratic ticket.I He is a life long pro-
hibitionist by precept and example.
He is honest in his purpose and
faithful In performance. lie be-
lieves that tie government should be
administered In the interest of all
the people.
lie is oppdeed to waste and extray-
agance in tile administration of the

In the firit year of Governor Fer

was not only the highest in the his

that he orslamending the perma-

Mr., Morrit fayors the taking OF

purpose of testing the ability of
those desiring employment IN elther
department.E
Mr. MorrF Is friend OF higher
