ever previous preference or party are
not saying very much, but are with
out question thinking and studying
the situation more earnestly and
carefully than ever before in the po-
litical campaign. The devotion to
honest sentiment in regard to a
sound financial policy, and an honest
dollar, coupled with a belief in a
protection sufficient to protect from
money borrowing by great.nation,
and a well founded hope for the re-
turn of prosperity if such policies be
maintained, is plainly to be seen on
all sides. While the town is over
whelmingly Republican, there are
those of another faith, but many of
these who have for lifetime perhaps
voted their choice by casting a
Democratic ballot now find them
selves unable to look upon the plat
form and candidates resulting from
the Chicago convention as worthy of
their Endorsement and support. To
all such, the Republicans of Morris
town will give hearty welcome, and
with such will join hands in the pa
triotic work of the campaign.
MOrristown voters are not yet
hurrahing but they are alive and
ready to act. 1t is now expected
that very shortly new flag to re-
place the one which has passed
through two campaigns, will be Sc
cured and upon it will be found the
names Mckinley and Hobart. We
hope in our next issue to be able to
name the date of a flag raising and
informal speeches in that connection,
to be followed by more elaborate
rallies later on. On the ballots which
will be cast by our voters only six
weeks from yesterday, will be found
names that all can support, and a
big vote that first day of September
means something for MorristOwn, for
the state and the country. Who can
not take pride in casting their vote
on that day for our distinguished
townsman Hon. H. II. Powers, to re-
turn him to his prominent place in
Congress, or can party lines prevent
a hearty support of our young
tOwnsman f. G. Fleetwood for
States Attorney or of the popular
nominee for Senator R. W. Hulburd
of Hyde Park Having voted for
these it should be the duty of all who
wish their vote to count for an en-
phatic declaration of Vermont's YER
dict upon the great questions of the
day, to cast the state ticket, bringing
this towns vote up to its possible
size, that shall enlarge our future
delegate representation from five to
seven. Along with this and import
ant with it, will be the election of one
who shall represent us in the coming
session of the Legislature, and in this
it would seem very easy for all to
unite in selecting that prominent and
popular young tOWnsman, that able
young man, that staunch Republican
George NJ. Powers, who, should we
here honor him and honor ourselves
by such a choice, would go to that
body eminently fitted and qualified
for the duties Of a most brilliant pre-
siding officer, and no doubt would be
speedily chosen speaker of the House.
MoIristown can make no better
choice on September LIST, than to
elect George M, Powers Representa-
tive, and that by big vote regard
less of previous party affiliations, we
say let's do it.
With such happy conditions, with
no factional disturbances in our
midst, with a right cause and such
unblemished candidates from nation
al ticket down, Morristown Republi-
cans, and all who may act with them
have every reason to gather a new
inspiration and enter upon the duties
to be performed with q new zeal and
an unfaltering purpose.
