The Worthington advance. [volume] (Worthington, Minn.) 1874-1908, 1898-09-29


Test in NATIONAL state our county affairs.
We insist that the Republicans Of Mobiles Co.
have surrendered their independence and in
divldu alism 10 a set of men whose sole interest
in public affairs is to control the Offices and
draw the salaries. Obedience to the dictates
of the ring is stronger argument for election
than devotion to the peoples interests.
We believe that this convention is controlled
by no boss. It is representatives of free Amer
leans. whose interests are the interests of every
citizen high or humble.
Wn pledge our earnest support to the candi-
dates nominated by this convention and in
vite the suffrage OF every voter irrespective of
political Affiliations.
