Of one Person for the State Senate;
three persons to represent this county

ty Sheriff, two persons for County Com
missioners, and one person for County
Surveyor.
: All GOOD citizens ahould take some
interest N politics, for all are interested
in good government. The primary
meetings are intedned to afford an ex-
preston of popular will. and if tax pay
ers, who should be most interested in
the welfare of the county, do not come
forward and assert their rights, others
will do so andthus control the choice
of Candidates. 1t indicates a healthy
sentiment for the people to take an
active interest in the primaries, and,
campaigns are made interesting and ul-
timately successful when there is en-
thusiasm in the party.
