RIVALS, But
FRIENDS.
Mr. Ralston said he was glad to speak
from the same platform as his opponents
in the primary and especially SO since
he was in the home city Of his good

There should be radical changes in ad-

State government Is costing too much,
he said. "The State has again become a
| borrower of money, when taxes are al
ready oppressively high. 1t will require
another Democratic administration to

THE administrations Of Wilson mean
something more than the golden age of
the American democracy-the mark an
epoch in the onward march Of the masses
of the world toward the contamination of
the democracy Of mankind" said Mr..
Bowers. He compared the Wilson
achievements with that much OF the
Harding Administration as has passed.
"The roll call Of the achievements Of
the present regime suggests the roll call
of the Irish brigade after the Battle Of
Observation-Disclosures responses are few

The average citizen has even lost the

Goodrich who, In the midst of the war
denounced Wilson as a Socialist, has lost
interest In normally. and is now dedicat-

Statehouse.

influence. 1t is perhaps true that lad I

it came up for passage I would have
voted for it, but it would have been n
