manding what they term "Citizens'
ticket" by which is meant ticket COM

tail.enders OF Republican persuasion,
but OF doubtful standing in the Repub-
lican party. Some OF the most promi-
nent Democrats OF the town declare

field they will vote the Republican
ticket, county, State and National. The
committee being undecided adjourned
to meet again some time in September.

Republicans us possible and to step in
at an opportune time and take adVant- |
age OF it, Their effort will fail, how
ever, as the Republican nominations
were fairly made and the men chosen
are representative Republicans and
