Pu- multiplicity of candidates or dissensiOn
has in our ranks. 1t Is the duty of ever
a., citizen to feel an interest and take an az
tive part in our political struggles. TIL
10 good men in the State should see tina
ich only the best men are brought fOrwar
the for office, whether it be of low or hig
