port rather than TO accept as true, anything
against any candidate.

m en- and while IL Is the duty Of every free
born citizen To cast his H0ic Tor the men OF
his own choice, and not for those FOR whom he

job printing has greatly increased.
We mention these latter facts In no spirit OF
boasting, but To show that, no matter what
opposition or misfortune may befall the cit-

Vote as you please, that is n duty of the
American citizen, bnt the greatest OF az G9-
ties is to provide fo- your own household,
and you can best do this by making closer
application to your own business, no matter
what it is. Politics Is only an incident In
life Preference between candidates Is an
ideality, but the making of good supply Of
meat and bread is Il reality.
