Besides this, it should be kno\vn what are the convic tions of the candidates for Governor on sucli national questions as tariff revision, civil service reform, the cur rency, national aid to education and the like. There is no difficulty in finding a way to let in the light. We take itfor granted that the candidates who have been named have opinions of llrgir own which they are not afraid to^x^ f iress.
