Argus Leader is asking Egan and
his organizes to come into court
with clean hands in the primaries.
Isn't Brother Day asking a good
deal of Egan, considering the re-
cord of the gentleman from Min
nchaha?
Dennis OLeary would do away
with all state departments. if he
could, and those he could not do
away with he would combine. The
idea is good, so far as the latter
part Of it is concerned, only it is
not original with Dennis. Cover
nor McMaster, in urging his eff
clency survey program year ago,
made exactly the same argument
for state economy. And an eff
cheney expert IS now at work along
the lines suggested by the Cover
nor.
Egan has no particular business
to sell but it is interesting to note
that Governor McMaster on July,
/, 1920, believing that he would
be elected governor, sold all Of
his banking business so that he
could come into the state govern
ment with "clean hands" McMas-
ter made this statement before a
large audience at Centerville on
February 2Sth. When it comes
down to rock bottom the fact that
his campaign and record of the
character and record of two men.
and Egan, continues to
stand out.
