REPUBLICAN, COUNTY TICKET
The Republicans Duty.

Inc ne puDI1Cdus OuIy'
On next Tuesday the county will
elect neil to ill eight of the most i'm
portant offices in the gift Of its people,
and it is every citizens duty to con-
slider carefully the duty of the hour as
regards his vote upon that occasion.
\ mam is not worthy of being citizen
nf this country who fails to 60 to the
polls upon election Gay and cast his
ballot for someone. 1t is his right and
la: privilege.
The first duty then Of every citizen
and especially of every republican is to
VOTE. The only hope of the democ-
racy this fall is That by inducing some
republican voters to remain away from
the polls they Gill overpOwer those who
do vote and so elect one or more of the
CdnuludlcS Tic uCllIoClhC'S NOh'Sh1AOAi
Nominated. If tic republican voters
ale wise they will not listen to any such
proposition moment. We have more
respect for democrat who votes than
"a republican who weakly ueg!ects his
dLl, as ii republican and d cltiZen.
As We SAID, this 10 the only hope of
the dem"cracy and ii they fail Ill this
they tail III all Not man Oh the
ticket Stands ghost Uf Il show If any
thing like Iull Vote Is cast.
Having concluded 10 perform the
first duty Of voting it devolves upon the
republican To consider the second one
o! what ticket his ballot shall be cast
for. Looking over the field what does
lie see? There are two tickets pre-
scented and ouly two; Is there any
thing to distingu. Al them? The repuL-
lican contains the names of men know n
aud tried and proved worthy. The
democratic is made up largely of I'M
known individuals whose names we've
put on it simply to ill up and because
they wanted little cheap nOtoriety.
Let US look at the republican ticket.
Is thers one fault to be found with it?
Starting with the treasurer, w. L.
NIXON, what better man can be found?
lie has for score of years been
farmer Of the county. lie is man of
unblemished integrity and upright bust
ness habits. lie has the confidence of
all and the farmers of the county will
show themselves unmindful of the op-
portunity presented to advance their
own interests if they fail to give him

II. II. BERT for county clerk has
served one term with admirable sue
cess. Not word has been breathed
against him and the people will be glad
to honor him with another term. His
record is an enviable one and he should
be supported.
Register of Deeds w. D. NICHOLS
has also proved capable and upright
officer and no republican can conscien-
tiously scratch his name from the
ticket. BE will receive hosts of demo-
cratic votes as we'll.
Sheriff D. w. NALL is another can
didate for whose election every republi-
can should be glad to work. In the
past two years in which he has been
the county's chief executive officer he
has been alive to the duties of his posi-
ton. Night and day he has been on
the go working for the enforcement of
the laws, and his friends have in
creased each day until he seems likely
to have almost a unanimous walk
away. Dave Nail is a hustler to
whom no mud can stick. His official
career is q clean and straightforward
one and he will receive the majority he
deserves.
A. c. RoMIG has practically no OPP
position for surveyor. Small paying
though the Office is, he has devoted as
