There has been considerable
comment in the state press con
corning probable candidates for
the Democratic nomination FOR
Governor and the name most
prominently mentioned is that of
Hon. Fred l. Fox, of Sutton, one
of our representatives in the
state senate. This comment is
gratifying to the Democrats of
this district, of course, but we
are not ready and willing to
spare Sen. Fox from his present
position. In the Senate he is a
forceful and powerful character.
His record will bear the pitiless
light of publicity, and the state
could i'll afford to lose him from
the upper law making body.
