cannot help feeling pride in the fact
that our county has produced man who
is capable and has the qualifications
which would make him good COVER

or peasant are alike to him. He would
if governor be a most approachable
governor. We have known him for
years and we know whereof we speak.

10 blame for that II is a birthmark
One that will not wash, off and if we
Democrats should commit the almost
objectionable sin in standing by him
with our vote and influence at the ,

opinion that the good Lord would for
