But Blease goes hor likes, and promises to attend the next meet of govern some more original ideas on how to run South Carolina Tt would sure to be a shame to mar those annual meets of the governors. They have been a perfect flow of reason and flood of soul. Very few associations of limited mem bership do more to encotirage brewing and other home indus tries, and to taint them with Blease is deplorable. Still, how are they going to bar out Blease? A fellow who believes in roasting alive human beings isn't going to sit back and wait for special invitations, and the pitiable alternative of having Blease in the gubernatorial midst or abandoning the meet- ings, seems to present itself ANY nominations for the] job of being honored with} the W ellseFargo at those Utah and Vermont elec-| Everybody's doing it toral votes?

TAYLOR—TRIMMER Speaker Taylor's promised defeat for re-election is well earned. ‘Taylor has been one of our niftiest little trimmers in politics, and now it looks as though he has trimmed him elf out, He trimmed against King county's interests while he was speaker of the last session; he trimmed against labor legislation, progressive legislation; and he trimmed when ever he got a chance. He voted for every injurious amendment to the direct legislation and labor bills, and then, on the showdown the vote for the final passage of the bills—he voted for them Taylor trimmed. The state constitution makes it mandatory to reappor tion legislative representation every 10 years, in accordance with the population. King county wodld have gained four fepresentatives and three senators by But Taylor held it up till the last moments of the session and blocked it. King county owes nothing to Taylor. He didn’t even fecognize his own county in committee assignments in the fast session. In fact, King county, knowing Taylor for the trimmer he has been, should lead in repudiating him. @ reapportionment HEAT prostration in South- ern and mad dog scare in Northern California, Cheer | up, ye Easterners! know it.” Ha! maybe that's why those Washington jour- nalists usually have crumbs in their whiskers!
