Todav's Election.

Today the voters of Augusta will be
called upon to decide by their ballots
who shall administer the affairs of our
city for the next twelve months. We
believe that they will give the Republi-
can ticket the rousing endorsement it
merits. 1t is important. however that
in working for this end, the Republic
cans of this city should take nothing
for granted. They should be alert AMI
active. All should interest themselves
in the work of getting out the largest
possible party vote The result of the
registration shows that our city now
has nearly 900 names on its voting
lists. The indications are that there
will be an exceptionally full vote polled
today. \ year ago the Republican
party polled something over 1000 votes.
Today they should be satisfied with
nothing short of 400, and with an
earnest pull all along the line we he
lieve that an even larger number OF
votes can he secured by the party.
The new conditions growing out Of
the change in the number of wards

of Augusta make clean sweep" If
they will turn out in force, today, we
believe that they will be successful in
doing so. As We have already taken
occasion to say in these columns the
greatest danger to Republican success
vill lay in the direction of the indiffer
ence of members of the party. who
while true TO its principles are liable
