He will go into office mext spring with
the "makings’’ on his hands, in all
probably, of as difficulty difficult a
Congress to co-operatle with as ever a
chief fagistrate has faced at the be

Not that it will be to him
On the contrary, a plethora of po

his great embarrassment.
If the governor wins at all. It is a
foregone conclusion that thumping
majorities will win with him,.in both
the senate and house of representa
