Frazier Afraid
of His Platform

Speaking at dazon, N. d., on sep
TENDER 38th United States Marshal,
s. J. Doyle, democratic candidate for
governor said:
.Many people Of this state are
wondering why Governor Frazier,
who has now had almost three years
experience N the stump, should hes
itate to meet me, a beginner, in Joint
discussion of the issues Of this cam
paign" TT isn't myself that he is
afraid al, but 1t Is the platform that
he fears to discuss. and well he may
ecause he stands on an Invisible
platform supporting a program full
Of holes and tokera
"The program that he IS advocAt-
ing il not the same as the plans that
are being worked out for his admin
'btratton in secret chambers In an
other state, by cunning politicians
who have neither homes nor property
in this or any other state. Their
whole interest in the matter Is to live
IN glory while they watch us try out
some utopian dreams Of parlor phil
osophera, who lever did . days man
ual labor In their Life.
