Cd q . possible candidate for lieuten-
ant governor He declares he cant
work up much enthusiasm about run
ming for office and It's too early yet to
figure much on II anyway. In his

are not getting anywhere.

ing back from overseas will not say
that their job is done that am ready
to get out Of the way and make room
for the colonies. the lieutenants ant

That the senator's who will come here
on Sept. Is will draw Il large audience !:
a foregone conclusion. Opponents o.
