] Running for public office on

larry IL the issue entails some
thing to the liking or for the spe-
cial benefit OF the common herd

there is an unlimited number OF
race track lovers who would be in
favor OF such measure. This Is
merely hint to the wise.
A candidate should not depend
upon color alone TO place him In
public office as Il Ia impossible
to get one hundred per cent CO.
oreratiQn in anything. Go after the
other group for their votes with
something that interests them.
