argument now is unnecessary.
Il They have studied the questions
at issue In the campaign. have
carefully compared the opposing can
didates and the influences they rep
resent, and have made up their minds
which way they intend to vote.
There are some. however. who, while
not in doubt about the head of the
ticket. have minds yet open in regard
TO the local nominees. Our advice to
them is to give their party the benefit
of any doubt and vote a straight ticket
Where~a number of names appear on
party ticket it is inevitable that
some voter somewhere will feel like
objectng to one or more of them: a
ticket completely suiting everybody is
an impossibility. But it is important
to remember that party organization.
which is the basis of party success
and the necessary means of getting
certain principles introduced into the
government. rests upon party regu-
larity: upon respect for the will of the
majority; upon individual concessions
in minor particulars for the sake of
eitecting great results by virtue of
cooperation. You might not like some
colonel in the army but if you were
soldier pledged to uphold the flag
you would not let your personal bias
betray you into INSTRUMENTATION or de-
sertion. For the good of the cause
you would pass it by.
1T seems to us that every Republi-
can, as we'll as many persons of other
rarty affiliations who put prosperity
ment above partisanship must to-
morrow vote to continue in office the
administration which has shown such
great capability for producing OK
cel!ent results. and also to re-elect
the congressman who has been, to
The extent of his opportunity. William
