Judging by the way w. A Drake
one of Republican nominees for gov
ernor has spurned the honor, would
suggest a member of the long cared
class taking his meals in a sty. rather
than a drake. He doubtless knew the
slate before he went to the convention
and to withdraw his name at this time
under the plea of henpecking wife.
looks to us like the biggest piece of
jackass business we have seen in a
long time. Drake, from his published

statement inferring that no 100 per
cent American had been nominated at
the state assembly will make many
votes, besides friends, for Mr. Ball
reich in this section. We do not know
Mr.. Ballreich personally. but we do
happen to know something about his
ability and honesty. Low-down sneak
ing motives employed in days like
these do not win anybody anything.
The people of this state do not need
such rot poked at them and further
more they will not stand for 1t. Mr..
Ballreich is the party's nominee;
squar forward man and should have
the solid support of every fair-minded
Republican.
