determination to carry them out ac-
cording to their clear intent with can

Smith IS most -amlable and genial
gentleman and your county-man, but
that IS not sufficient reason for voting
for him while he remains in bad COM
pany. The very easy nature possess
ed by the Judge is one very sufficient
reason why he should not be elected
to the position he seeks. Two years
ago, according to his own declaration,
he should have voted for Mr.. Bryan.
Il remains an open question whether
he followed the dictates Of his reason
and conscience. If he did not it was
