questions:
HeckIins the Governor

We believe that voters should
study tho public questions in an un-

non-partisan platform for their discus

publican and Democratic speakers.
Docs tho Republican party prefer that
the voters should accept partisan
view without knowing anything about
the subject?
we insist that public Office should
bo given to tho men who will best
serve tho public. and not in payment
for party service. We believe that true
economy will result when public Of
fec is regarded not as party spoils. but
AS public trr-t. Docs tho Republican
party disagree with this?
we believe that unthinking submis-
