made hostile by the demagogism
of few unprinc;pled, nnscrupu-
lous, dishonest and ambitious
politicians Of the John Sherman
type?
The fight in this county is center
ed and cocentrated upon Carl H.
Buerhaus, our candidate for Repro
sentative. A member of the Gen
eral Assembly is State, not q
county officer Therefore the great
er turpitude it is, for one who pro-
fesses to be a Democrat to bolt the
nomination of his party Of candi-
date for that Office. What will a
Democrat gain by scratching" Mr..
Buerhaus and voting for Mr.. Key
nes? The latter is tho regular
nominee of the Republican party;
pledged to support its principles
and to vote for its candidate for U.
8. Senator. If elected. it will not
be by Republican but by Democrat
ic votes. Will Mr.. Keynes, if Ell
ected, prove a political Benedict
Arnold and desert the party and
principles to which he is pledged,
and support Democratic measures ?
We know enough of Mr. Keynes
personally, to believe he is not, nor
will he be u traitor to his principles.
We regard Sir. Keynes, personally
in his social and busin ess relations,
as gentleman Of high honor and
integrity.
Mr.. Buerhaus, the Democratic
candidate, is pledged to Democrat
ic principles, and to vote for a Dem
ocratic Senator. He is a brilliant
young man; an able lawyer, and
will be a credit to the county in the
General Assembly. In the name
Of reason and common sense, in the
name Of Democracy, We ask why
any Democrat should prefer Mr.
Keynes to represent them in the
Ohio Legislature as against Mr.
Buerhaus
