' Warren T. McCray has filed a statement of his expenses as a candidate for governor. He spent $5,851.50. Editor Babcock, whose dislike for Mr. McCray’s candidacy was noticeable from the start, and who felt sure all the time that Mr. McCray was going to break up because of the money he was spending, can’t hardly believe that his expenses were so small and says some real sarcastic things about it. We have never been able to see how or why Editor Babcock felt -so much interested in this matter and suggest that until such time as he is* appointed a censure of expenses it would be wise and becoming if he would not assume any guardianship of the candidates. All along there was a lot of rot published about the great amount of money Mr. McCray was spending, when, as a matter of fact, he did not do nearly the amount of advertising that some of the other candidates did.
