tool of any faction In local affairs it will continue
to assert independence of dictation in the assumed

of Indiana for the election of State ocsrs aud Of
Legislature that must choose United States senator.
The importance of this contest cannot be overstated.
THE JOURNAL expects to contribute its full strength
to this struggle. and believe better agency foS
Republican be found than to increase the
circulation of the Journal both its daily and weekly
issues, among the people. We call the attention Of
political committees in the various counties and ds
tricts to this suggestion.
