AS the campaign in this county pro-
crosses it becomes more evident that
the republican county ticket is COM
posed of good and capable men. No
one of them is weak, or was put on to
fill out the ticket, or for trading pur-
poses. Each one is man of ability and
excellently qualified for the place for
which he is running. The democrats
are preparing for a desperate fight.
Their managers are paying but little at
tention to some of their candidates ex-
cept to bleed them for money. The
managers desire above everything else
to elect one or two OF their candidates.
Unhappily for them, these particular
candidates do not prove to stand very
well with the people. Many democrats
will not support them. This coming to
be known to the public, the most ex-
treme methods are brought to bear on
these democrats to force them into.line.
Threatening to deprive man of his
business unless he will support the
democratic nominees is becoming the
favorite method with them as they see
their desperate condition. They are
also circulating some stories about re-
publican candidates to try to iniure
them, which will have an opposite effect
when known. The public should think
Of the reasonableness Of story against
a candidate, when told the last days OF
a campaign, before believing it. Be-
ware OF these eleventh hour stories. The
republicans are willing to rely on the
merits Of their candidates and the just
ness of their cause.
