I'. v are verv busy sending out
i: laudatory literature, scrap-

to all the boy;- they meet, but so
i h..ve failed to arouse any
ithi'sii.-m and the poor patri-
otic candidates who are offering
..c. f« al service to the
state, can't understand why the
oys ..un't enihuse.
Thi reason for this indiffer-
e . however, is understood by
i ho e v ho are not selfishly in-
terested in the candidacy of
th ■ < who have announced. The
,h no one yet has been of-
friod for whom the people care.
"hey are waiting for some
one to announce in whom they
confidence and can trust.
This does not mean that all
thi candidal.w for governor are
iltritied unworthy, but that the
• '(• ar. yet insufficiently ac-
quainted with the records and
rth'ness of 'hose candidates
who have raronl- and equally as
ignorant of th'- itness of those

This is, of course, discourage-

^airman Arthur H. Geissler
says nis party will -elect a strong
ticket and thousands of thinkdig
democrats contemplate the in -
essitv of voting against their
ticket and for Republicans if the
-.ominee* of that party are of
such laracter that they can con
scientiously support them.
Nominations for twenty state
office^ are to lie made. Tne

will a_-t as a sifting committee
canvass the qualifications of var-

candidates a - will command con-
fidence and support, regardless
of pa.-.t party affiliation.-. Mr.
(Jeissler contends if that kind of
tieke". is named at the pretere-n-
tial < ate convention it will be
elected.
And there are good reasons
for such lielief. The voters are
thinking more than ever before
of th • necessity for such men.
the j>.iblic conscience is keenly
active and it may be depended
upon .hat the relection fmpicop-
stable to governor will lie made
under the closest scrutiny.
