OUR LOCAL TICKET ITS PERSON
AL.

In supporting men for office we
only acknowledge fealty to princi-
pies that are a sacred inheritance OF
the people, instead OF homage to the
individual. 1t is because we hold 1t a
right of the people to have equal
representation in legislative bodies,
and to this end that election dis tricts
should as nearly as possible contain
the same number of inhabitants; it is

spurious liquors under the control
and regulation of law, instead Of hav-

we favor such changes in our laws as
will secure full, fair, and equal taxa

man is chatf; the measures, every
thing.
For County Treasurer, our candi-

be given him for that honorable
trust. We have known him for a
third of a century and cheerfully
testify to his integrity as man, to
his worth as q citizen.
For Sheriff our candidate is the
man OF all others, the equal in every.
thing that constitutes independence.
manhood, integrity and character, a
man who would not do a dishonOr-
able act for all there is in the Office.
The tongue of scandal has no word
for such q man as Albert J.. Wallace.
In every walk in life he has shown
himself unidentified to the respect
and confidence Of his fellow men, and
will have strong support from the
independent thinking men Of all par.
| ties.
For County Superintendent our
party has put in nomination q man
who is abreast of the times in educa.
tional work. man Of clear head and
cool Judgment, man whose thought,
work and study is in the line of edu

County. and is favorably known by
