REPUBLICAN TICKET
NATIONAL, STATE AND COUNTY
Why We Should Support 1t From Ton To
Bottom.

II you vote for Major Mckinley and
eject him president of the United States.
the government will have chief execu-
tive whose whole puplic career has been
continuous worthy and successful effort
IN behalf of the upbuilding of American
industries. You will assist in electing
an American with an American policy.
to fill the chief executive office of the
American people. Americans, remember
to vote for the man who believes that the
Americans best market, whether that
American be farmer, laborer or manu-
faturer, is America. Bear in mind also.
that nations chief executive can do
nothing in the line of remedial legislation
unless he is backed by a congress in
political sympathy with him. Therefore
70 make Major McKinley's administra-
non eHectlve It is the American voters
duty to support for congress men who
are known to be in political sympathy
with him. Such men we have in Con-
gresham Doolittle and Hyde, who have
already served the people of Washington
we'll and faithfully and who are known
to be in accord with Major Mckinley on
the great principles of protection and
reciprocity.
The citizen Of Washington is especially
Interested in the selection Of competent
officials to conduct the affairs Of his state
Tor the next four years. We can ILL afford
at this time to trust our state policy in
the hands of cranks and incompetent
officials. Potter c. Sullivan, the Repub-
llcan nominee Tor governor, is self made
western man, and man of brains, an
OLD resident of our state and one who is
fully acquainted with the conditions that
have prevailed in Washington for the
past score of years, who if elected COVER
nor will bring to that high office. good
common sense and lots Of it, and good
keen business and executive ability. The
rest of our state ticket is made up of COM
petent and honest men, who if elected,
will ably second the efforts of Sullivan to
promote good government, law, order
and prosperity in the state.
Coming nearer home we take pleasure
In presenting the name of Hon. Henry
Mcbride, of Mt. Vernon, to the people of
San Juan county as the next superior
judge of this judicial district. Judge Nc
Bride comes to us backed with a record
already made as careful, painstaking
and able jurist, and ajudge who will rem
der impartial justice to litigants, and
the county promptly and without delay.
We wish to impress the voters of San Juan
county with the fact that Judge Mcbride
is not an experiment. He is man that
has been tried in the office he is now
candidate for, and found by experience,
to be competent, efficient and economical.
Reaching the county ticket, we wish to
impress the voter with the fact that the
next session of the legislature of Wash
ington, among other important duties,
will perform the very important one of
electing United States senator, to repre-
sent the state in the upper branch of the
national congress for the next six years.
This being the case. the great importance
of having our county properly represen-
ted in the next legislature, and represent
ted 10y an answering Republican, can
not he over estimated; all the arguments
that can be used in favor of the election
of Republican for president, and Repub-
can congressman, can also with equal force
be brought to bear in favor ofa Republican
United States senator from Washington:
and unless the Republican voters of
Washington, elect Republican represen-
tatives to the state legislature, how can
they hope that a Republican United
States senator can be elected? To vote
for Mckinley and then turn around and
vote for Populist United States senator,
is like buying new sharp AK to chop
with and then refusing to buy handle
to At the ak on so it can be used, what is
the use of buying the AK if you don't buy
the handle? What is the use of voting tor
Mckinley if you are not going to cast
your vote in such way as to elect a United
States senator in sympathy with NJ Kin
ley? Judge Thacker, your candidate for
the legislature, needs no eulOgy, he is
careful, competent business man and law
yer, and above all he is tried, true and
incorporating Republican.
The people are not unminful or unap-
preciative of careful painstaking work.
and the Republican county convention
acting in its capacity as representative OF
the people, selected as its candidate for
auditor of our county, a. man whose
WHOLE life has been devoted to Line of
for the duties to be performed in the
auditors Office. Few counties in Wash
ington can produce as correct and ac-
curately kept set Of county records and
books as can San Juan county, and none
a better set. Mr.. Sliters work in the
auditors Office of San Juan county Tor
the last two years is well known to the
voters of the county. From day to day
he has been at his post of duty, carefully
doing the work of his office, and ever
ready to oblige every one who came 10
his office for information. Mr.. Sitter mas
made a good, honest and we'll quallhed
county official, and the people know 1t
and appreciate it, and they will show
their appreciation on November 3rd ny
saving to Mr.. Sitter, you have done your
work we'll, we want you to continue IN
the same line of work for the next two
years.
