Currle Support Complim The Currie boom mystifies everybody ppears to be able to discern whence the influence comes that is push- ing him. Mr. Currie Is a well-to-do ranch- man in one of the back counties who stands well with his neighbors and Is well thought of. but up to this time he has enjoyed only a strictly local reputation in politics and 1s known very few politiclans or business people outside the membership of the last legislature, in which he served as a senator. The question very univer- sally asked is, Who is behind him?

It is this smell of raw materlal that attracts hungry and thirsty patriots to the Thompson camp and em boldens him to make a demand for all other candidates to stand back until he is nomi- nated and elected When the battle i over the political pawnbrokers will be able to show several windows full of unredeemed pledges.
