| Don't forget Cushman and Jones
and the Republican judges, they stand
on solid platform. They are sub
stantial men and workers.
In marking your ballot remember
that the name of the Republican can
didate comes first under the black line
separating each official designation.
Monday night was Halloween and
the lads did not forget about it. They
played the usual pranks with gates
signs and movable prosperity, and had
their fun.
Tom. Daniels is all right, and he is

The Democrats had a rally at
kamilche Tuesday night, in which the
arguments we're about the same
as our Union reporter sent in. The
young ladies also went along and had

This is the last regular issue before
election, and local matters must give
way to politics to some extent this
week. The JOURNAL will publish the
complete election returns at the earliest
moment next week, for the benefit of
its readers, no matter how election
goes.
Personal friendship for a political
opponent IS not very good reason
why Republican should "cut" one of
his candidates for county officers,
against whom he can urge no objection.
To greater or less extent each party
has good friends who are on the oppo-
sition ticket, and politics make no
difference in true friendship.
So far not a word has been said
about great savings by the fuslonists
OF Mason County, all Democrats, by
the way. There has been no saving,
as matter of fact, and if any such
claims should yet be made, dig up your

statement is incorrect in many spots.
1t was originally the intention of the

son seem to be doing better work for
us than we could do ourselves. We
simply ask the voters, and especially
taxpayers to get at the facts as nearly
as possible. think for themselves, and
we have no fear of their Judgment.

ment. mark cross after the 'sFor'' or
Against" sections of the propositions.

Judgment dictates on the suffrage

favor OF indiscriminate suffrage eithe,

families or of separate property should
have representation. The matter is
for the benefit of the women and shoule
be left to them. We do not observe
much interest take by the women il
this matter.
