The State primary will soon be
here. The candidates for Gov
ernor and for the subordinate
places are now moving over the
State. We know that either Gov.
Black or Judge Carroll will be
selected for first place, and we
would be glad to see the very
best men selected for the under
places. Give US a strong ticket
and Democracy will sweep the
State.
