1--WE declare our confidence in
President Roosevelt who is so su d.
denly and unexpectedly called to
fill the Office of chief magistrate of
our great country. He, too, has been
tried and not found wanting. He
has before him shining example
hard to initiate and impossible to
surpass.
eve pledge to President Roosevelt,
the youngest president this nation
has ever had, and who, although
President but three weeks, has won
the respect not only Of Americans
but every nation on the globe, our
most cordial corporation and sup
port.
eve condem the bungling of the
fusion administration, which has
already cost the people of this state
large amounts Of money, and prom
ises to cost the taxpayers still more;
not content with bankrupiing the
state financially they have enormous
ly increased the expenses OF every
department OF the state under their
control, and especially do we con-
denim the last fusion legislature for
their refusal to pass the just bills
which the stockmen Of the state
unanimously demanded.
Gas regards the business of this
county, we pledge every candidate
for office on the republican ticket to
be nominated today, to continuance
of the careful, economical and busi-
ness like administration Of county
affairs OF the past year"
