TOT COUIML t 1 r: OBSERVATIONS The ticket named by the republican state convention this week Is a strong one. with the exception of the namt at the head. It 'a a sad commentary on the intelligence of the republican party that of all the available material for gubernatorial candidates "Jack" Mac Coll should have been selected. Two years ago the republican state conven tion selected as the candidate for gov ernor one of the weakest men In the party, and Mr. Majors was defeated at the polls while all the other republi can candidates were elected. This week the convention again selected the weakest and poorest candidate, and raised up as the chief standard bearer of the party an Ignorant, roysterlng, good fellow. In the preliminary cam paign The Courier did not say one word about "Jack" MacColl that was untrue, and any favorable comment on the ticket In thes columns must omit the gubernatorial candidate. The republican party is slow to learn. In this campaign Instead of having a can didate, such a Hayward or Melkeljohn, who would have, led the party and pushed along the cause, we have a leader whom we will have to pull after us, a man for whom excuses and ex planations will have to be made. The Courier does not want to see a populist elected governor, and It Is sincerely hoped that MacColl will be elected. At the tame time It is greatly to be re gretted that the party is forced to go into the campaign with such a heavy Lurden. The rest of the ticket is excelllent. It is fortunate that the combination was partially broken, and that Mc Nlsh was defeated for the nomination for treasurer. MacColl and McNish would have been too much. Mr. Casey will greatly strengthen the ticket. All the other nominations are good. There is such a great preponderance of good over bad that the whole ticket ought to be triumphantly elected.
