The faults Of Langou and Wildes

why he should be censured.
The Bonanza may have disagreed
with Mr.. Miller on many subjects in
the past, but 1t agrees with him at
this moment that he can save the
state a vast sum of money yearly
over the Boyle-Scrugham administra-

IS for this reason that 1t is support
ing Mr. Miller to the very best Of
its ability in his efforts to be elected
chief executive of this state. 1t knows
him to be honest in his convictions
and honest in his dealings with his
fellow man. 1t knows that wild ex-
travagance has prevailed under dem.
ocratic misrule and it further knows
that such a state Of affairs will never
exist when John H. Miller is elected
governor on Nov 7 and takes his
oath of office on Tuesday, Jan. 2.
