present governor was praised by
himself for these very reasons and
mighty little has the claim beeu
justified. Big business governors
we have had Of late years in plenty.
But three farmers, Barstow, Bell

made a great success along one line
he is generally the man who knows
little about people at large and all
our political experience has proved
it.
