To The Republicans of Van Buren, County.
The election is near at hand, and il
we expect To win, we must he up and at
work. Owing To our great victory OF
last fall, the opposition have taken Il
firm stand and have been busy organic
ing for the spring election. We have
heard, from time to time, that they are
on the still hunt for the success of
Judge 1apie aud the whole union or
fusion ticket. We have not only To
fight the democratic forces, but we lind
allied with them 4 class of men who
became dissatisfied with republican
ideas simply because they could not
rule and are bound To try and destroy
the party that has been feeding them.
The republicans of this county won a
splendid victory last fall in the face OF
strong opposition and it was only
won by hard, united effort. Every
political worker knows that 1t is more
difficult, requires more effort, 10 get
out full vote in April than ut IA No
Vember election, aud yet we ought to
put forth every effort TO get out IA full
republican vote Every man who is
known as a republican should see to it
that his vote goes on record aud helps
make the majOrities for the state ticket
as large as was McKiulcy's last Noven-
Der.
Justice Long, who is 10 be reelected to
sit on the supreme bench, is Il man
worthy of the support of all republi-
cans, aud the republican candidates for
regents, VIM. j. Cocker and & ID.
Lawton, are equally worthy of popular
support, and more especially as &. ID.
Lawton is one OF Van Buren, county's
most houoled sons. Too much cannot
be SAID in behalf of the county and
township tickets. See that Wells e..
Brown, the standard bearer of the
county, is elected commissioner of our
public schools, and then let Us see To it
that Van Buren, county does her old,
time honored act of elrcting full set
of republican township officers from
