AN EMBARRASSMENT OF RICHES

Opponents Of Governor Frazier and the
Eonpartisan ticket are suffering from an
embarrassment of riches in the way of
campaign issues.
So many of them shout for attention that
it is difficult to concentrate on any of
them. Recently The Forum attempted to
present a summary of "tho case against
Governor Frazier" and filled column or
more before the Indictment was fairly be-
gun. The Pierce County Tribune essays
the same task with a series Of pertinent
questions. The list follows il part:

manager Of Mr.. Townley's stores company,
is at this time under indictment for alleged
sedition, and is Mr.. J. w. Brinton not billed,
in this state on your behalf?
