.MEu FOR GOVERNOR

AND now, just what is the editor
: of this paper expected to say?
Frankly, he doesn't know what to
saw. In view of all that has been
said, the first answer that comes to
mind is: Gather forgive them, for
they know not what they do
To be unmoved by, or unapprecia-
tive of, the expressions of esteem
and confidence from my newspaper
friends, and the good wishes and en-
thusiasm of my home folk, would be
nothing short of priggishness. / am
appreciative, profoundly so, nor do
I for minute doubt the sincerity
and good intent Of these expressions.
I have no desire to parade false
modesty nor to treat the situation
with levity. When my name was first
mentioned in connection with the
gubernatorial campaign / thought
it a joke and accepted it as such.
From the time the mention began to
assume a serious aspect I have re-
garded it seriously and have given
it serious thought. So far I have
been unable to bring myself to re-
alization that my occupancy of the
governors chair is essential to the
growth, development, and prosperity
of this state. More than this, / am
not at all sure that I really want to
be governor, even were it assured
that could be.
/ have never dreamed of sitting in
high places nor hankered for the
limelight. I am not now ready to say
that I am willing to forsake the
peaceful and pleasant pursuit of ed
iting q country newspaper, for a po-
litical career-a career which prob
ably would end at the first ballot
box. I have never done big thing
in my life but have been content in
the effort to do little things well.
