"The contest which has Just closed has been devoid of unpleasant fea tures and my relations with the other candidates and their supporters, have been at all times entirely friendly. Each of my opponents conducted an honorable and vigorous campaign. I hope that I shall not only receive the Bupport of my opponents, but of a united Republican party. "In the primary campaign Just closed, I publicly declared that if elect ed, I would give to the people the most efficient economical and business-like administration within my power. To be more specific, I refer to the administration of .the state In stitutions in which about $800,000 ot the taxpayers' money Is expended an nually; the management and control of those most valuable rights pertain- JAY BOWERMAN.

While filling the office of Governor of this state I have indicated to many cf the state's appointees and officers, who hold by appointment, that their time belongs during the business hours, entirely to the state and that they have no right to devote it to political activity In the interest of anyone. I shall not re tain an incompetent officer or em ploye on account of any political "pull" he may have, nor dispense with efficient service for the lack of it "As a member of the State Senate I used every effort to assist in drafting and passage of our present railroad commission statute. There are in the state other large concerns of a public nature that are under no state regula tion. I refer to. the electric light. power, railway and gas companies.' 1 shall favor, and, if possible, secure the adoption of a statute that will give to the public the same redress and pro tection now enjoyed under the railroad commission law, and I shall make it my particular business to see that these statutes are rigidly enforced. "I shall oppose the creation of. an unnecessary board or commission, but I consider It highly Important that these public utility corporations be regulated by a comprehensive statute to be enforced, either by a special commission created for that purpose or by the' railroad commission after its powers have been sufficiently en larged.
