use our columns for the promotion of
their own or the interests of friends,
We again announce that they are to

might be but FEW candidates, and no
sham or "dccoy-ducks" presented.
Let all who are announced as candi-

people, in making their selections in
primary meetings, may act intelligent

thereby good and impregnable ticket
be formed.
