ticket because Of the result Of the
primary, which was conducted as
fairly ~ any preceding convention
Or primary In the county ever
was, is PrePOsterous and absurd.
We have o better opinion Of
the "Swedes" than that. They
have had time to weigh all the facts
Of the present campaign, and they
can see no reason why they should
scratch q single name on the Rspub-
lIcau ticket.
The BrOokville Transcript says:
1.-THE average voter will be struck
with the unreasonable position Of
Dave Addison - . candidate for
county clerk. We all know Dave n
Republican and now after the regular
forms Of electing nominees are over
and without sIgnlfyIng his inten-
ton 10 become o candidate before
hand, he announces himself as q
candidate for the Office Of county
clerk. 1t Is reported Of him that
he would not run but some friend Of
his who was Q competitor for the
same office did not get the most
votes ut the primaries. Finding
that his friend did not stand 20 well
with the people, he 10 now willing
TO sacrifice himself at Q time when
there can not be any honor either In
election or defeat from q Republican
standpoint. Mr.. Johnson having
all the qualifications necessary to
I'LL the office, the Republican voters
can afford 10 lay aside their small
differences on this matter and stick
to the ticket"
The above IL . graceful acknowl-
edgement from the Transcript Of
the worth Of Mr.. johnson rs . man
and the high esteem he has won for
himself as q candidate. It will be
remembered that the Transcript
was . strong advocate Of the candi-
dscy Of Mr.. Thompson prior to the
nominating convention.
In the case Of Miss Very, whose
fugleman has sndeavored to create
. class feeling, 10 arouse the poor
against the supPOsititlous rich,
there was at one time In the cam
paign . feeling Of sympathy for her
~ q woman. But she has had an
injudicIOus manager, who has
endeavored strenuously to misrspre-
sent the pecuniary condition Of the
Republican candidate for Register
OF Deeds, and the reaction from that
misplaced sympathy il noticeable
and widespread. In the primary
there was no opposition whatever to
Mr.. Campbell. He received 1899
votes. There ought not TO be sim
gle one Of those 1922 to vote against
him next Tuesday. II would be
unfair to him so TO do. II would be
unfair to the decision Of the popular
vote. II would be the self-stultifica-
ton Of every recalcitrant voter. 1t
would result In q Decentralization Of
the Republican forces that would be
hard TO counteract In the future.
We have every reason to believe
that the Republican ticket will be
but IL will not do for MEM
bsrs OF the party TO be Indifferent,
10 fold their hands and stay at
home, or to neglect endeavor TO
help elect the ticket by voice and
vote. Personal interest In this cleo
lion Is what IL needed. There
should lie some enthusiastic work
lone, both because that II the way
70 win and because Il 10 the Repub-
lean way-the way that honest Peo-
pie convinced Of the business Of their
,auss can and do win every time.
Mind you, this isn't Q little pot
house fight for q few offices, but .
light preliminary to future strug-
lies, Q drill Of forces upon which
depend other elections In which
principles grand and far-resching |
viii be ct stake. The Importance Of |
he results to be secured justifies
m immediate waking up along the
Whole line, at every voting precinct
n the county, an aggressive cam
align aud 9 general rally at the
oils.
As . further proof Of the interest
low felt In the success Of the fair
nd manly ticket headed "Republi-
an" Q number Of rouslng meetings
re being held throughout the coun-
y, at which prominent citizens are
peaking. There IL no blush Of
hame In defending our ticket, but
Ather the flush Of pride in II aud
he confidence Of strength Of Just
ause. IL there . man In the county
hat would be willing openly TO do
. much In favor Of the so-cslled
peoples ticket? We believe not.
