who would not refuse nomination If

p. Mccormick holds the winning card
for State Senator, while Eugene. Lam

very close race between James A.

ship, and il is difficult matter 70 de-
termine which one will reach the home
plate first and score run. There arc
those, however, who say Brother Hoke
will foul out while Brother Brown will
slug the ballots for home run. In
the meantime the Democrats are biding
their time, and at the proper time they
will place in the field a ticket that will
make tho Republican candidates hustle
to get there. If Democrats will only
do their duty, the Republicans will find
out that Republican nomination in the
banner county is not equivalent to an
election. The Journal admits this
when it places emphasis on the words
