ton Of the principles of the Demo

was elected, also was urged by Mrs.
Ferguson who prophesied a more
liberal policy regarding the pardon
Of prisoners In state institutions

Prison matters were freely dis
cussed by Mrs Ferguson in her ad-
dress.

propriations should be reduced TO at

not more than s35 900 900"
Declaring that she would look
with disfavor upon the establishing
of any additional school during my
administration" the new governor,
in referring to state education. said
she favored a tax on factory made
cigarettes as n means of raising suf.
ficient revenue to finance additional
buildings among state educational in
situtions. Mrs. Ferguson said that
it is expected $4,000 600 could be
raised in this way.
If smokers are not interested in
the great cause q education she
said, all they would have TO do to
relieve the tax. would be TO cut out
smoking until such time as their
desire for smoking would overcome
their opposition to education. but
dare say this will never occur be
cause the man. who smokes is gen
orally the most liberal man in the
community"
