SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT.
The Men Whom the Republican Party Ask the
People to Endorse.

People to Endorse.
At the time we gave a report of the Re
publican convention we stated that we
: would at some future time make personal
mention of the candidates, but owing to q
press of business and the additional fact
that without an exception all OF the gentle
men nominated are SO well known to the
people Of this county, We have neglected
to DO so, and even now it seems unueces-
sary to do SO except to be in accord with
the usual custom of such matters.
The candidates for representatives are
well and intimately known in the public
and to the social life of this county. All
of them are citizens who have been actively
engaged for years in building up the ma
1teria! interests of the first county in the
state They are men whose capabilities
and experience in the management OF their
own affairs have made them successful in
their various pursuits in life, and it is con-
ccdcd that as legislators they would be IN
dustrious, conservative and broad
guaged; nominated on platter that ce-
clares it to be the judgment OF
their constituents that there ought TO be
constitutional convention called for the pur
pose Of giving to the people constitution
that would meet the demands Of our rapidly
growing state, they will work and vote for
a resolution calling this convention. Ii
elected they would be in accord on all pub
lie questions with the majority of the house.

creates new idea nor forgets an old one:
that lives only to initiate.
