Tor the purpose of taxation, but, il not

proposes a tax OF s25 a year on bach

cease fighting and fall in line. That
the majority shall rule is the, founda-
tiOn stone of our free form of govern
ment, and the republican party has in
cOrporated that sentiment into it's
political creed, and it is to-day the
crucial test of a genuine republican.
So in conclusion, use every endeavor
to carry your point before the town
ship central committee, and in the
primaries, and nominating conven-
tion. Fight as though the permanent
cy of the nation itself depended upon
the result. This is your right and
privilege ana if you succeed you have
the right to expect the hearty support
of all genuine republicans, and you
will get it. But if you fail and the
opposition succeeds, do not act the
baby and refuse to play because you
cannot have your own way. This is
not manly, it is not honest, it is not
the way republicans, who are repub-
licanS from principle, will do. We
make no apology for these plain state
mentS. They are true and cannot
and will not be denied. This is a plea
for harmony and honesty in politics
and not in the interest of any candi-
date or any plan of procedure, and we
say in advance that the republican
ticket, in TregO county, will receive
our hearty support, and we don't care
who may compose it, and it will make
no difference if not single nominee
on the ticket is our individual choice.
We believe that every reliable repub-
lican in the county will indOrSe this
sentiment. Let us fight if we feel
like it and fight hard until the last
ballot is cast for or against our indi-
yidual ideas. When that is done we
will accept the result and march
shoulder to shoulder against the COM
mon enemy.

means by the restricting clause, as
touching the method of nominating,
