canvass for its election. To do this the people
must talk their affairs over. They must have :

set themselves to work and not wait until some
body puts up hand or programme or ticket
If the people stand still with their hands in their
pockets or with their arms folded until the time
arrives for making nominations-which will
soon be upon US now-of course some body il
gong to do something-more than likely be-.
cause they don't do anything themselves.
The people of the different sections of the coun-
ty can very readily accomplish a great deal
towards getting their best neighbors and friends
before the people if they will economist their
time and use all opportunities. Our FARMING
folks frequently meet on the road, at the shop.
the mill, the store or the post Office. Every one
OF these meetings could and should be turned TO
profit by talking of the prospects, by interchaur-
ing opinions upon the legislation that the county
interest may require next Winter, by comparing
notes as to who in their knowledge would he a
creditable and efficient member of the legislature

selves into power This is one of the dangers /
that is ahead of Us in the campaign that ism the |
near failure. Those who have failed to make |
themselves active heretofore because they saw no
sign OF success in the political sky, begin to ell
bow themselves to the front and put themselves
in situations 10 attract attention and court pub
lie favor. They are frequently very glib in
talking in general terms about ''our" success
and what stwe'i did and how opp have been
prosecuted and what ''I'' can do and did do
and expect to do. Then they use ! the appli-
ances known to shrewdness to adv ce their in
terests aud kill off all the innocentsid their way
They will circulate little stories until they grow
into mountains Men whose chief occupation
and aim are traffic in political work find IT ex-
ceedingly convenient to tell of their claims and
see that every body hears of them. Every po-
litical wire and every piece of skiliful legerde-
main known to the mutations ofpoliics is adroit-
" marshaIed and used TO impose upon the party
and the people In short those most unworthy
most incompetent most inefficient for public SER
vice are most likely TO ride into power. This is
the case where the party is in power beyond all
certainty and is likely to be the case where there
= il strong probability that il will.
Our success this fall will depend almost alto
,a,ber upou the character Of the ticket presented
for the SURFACES of the people. II that ticket is
hardened with improper nominations, incompe-
tent and unpopular candidates for the prominent
Offices. the chances are decidedly against US I'M
less the opposition commit very gross blunders
in their selections To win we must have our
most intelligent, most upright, most discreet Ju-
dicious aud popular men upon the ticket Lei
every good citizen from this time forth consider
himself personally called upon TO exert bis ut
nost cauacites 10 secure this end.
