!. 10 THE yOrEBs OF FOREST COUNTY.

Once more we are called upon TO
decide by our ballots questions Of
vast importance and of'jeep interest
to every citizen of our county, and
we trust that every citizen, before be
casts his ballot, will weigh we'll the
responsibility that rests upon him.
The Republican platform, in its en-
tirity, presents principles that every
voter, of whatever political persua-
sion he may, be, can support, with the
assurance that it will place the bust.

departure in politics, which haI

best government in the world.
We must not look upon these prop
ositions of our opponents lightly o
carelessly, but weigh them well, a
they pertain TO the honor and pros
