Persons' qualifications nr® no superior that
Got. Harris would cut a sor.y figure iu an)

W© venture the assertion that for yoare

votion to his connm rcial or farming haxi
nrvs. paying little attention to ttie politics
of the country, before ho was unexpectedly
‘cubed' to take the lead which the more
prominent candidates could not attain by

a K|KH©h that would not hare done discredit
