their fellow Republicans. The qu:idrennial eec-
ton for President OF tae United States occurs

republic whose character and political views are
so important. especially TO the Republicans of the
South, and whose selection almost decides orr poi.-
zeal fate for the next fou ears and perhaps for the
whole future. MAKES this election one of the deep
est and most vital iateres. to ali our people We
feel that we speak the.r unanimous sentilnen.

National Republican Committee, and advise them
20 sehd our best representative men to the Pa:la
delpha Convention, to help in selecting tried
true and unfnching Republican to be our next
President. Our State election is also Of the great
