pal avocation to be that to which he'
gave his personal attention.
Dr. Withycombe has resigned his
position as director of the e^pejj-
mental work at O. A. Ci, a position
which he has filled with^. credit to
the state and honor to himself. This
partially removes the main " reason
for the Tribune’s criticism. But as
his associations and principal busi
ness hay.e been with the taxeating
class for many years, his sympathies
and thoughts, unconsciously per
haps, are still with this class and he,
if elected governor, would go into
office in a manner pledged in their
favor. Fdr this reason we did not
nor do not think the interests of
taxpayers would be as safe in his
hands as one whose business inter
ests and associations had- - been
confined entirely on the side of the
taxpayer. Had Dr. Withycombe
devoted his personal attention to his
farm and had he been identified
exclusively with the interests : of
taxpayers all these years, ; the,. Tri
bune would not have the slightest-
objection to his election, to, the
governship.
