w hSiO anu you VIII Do oApeCUot
to exercise your constitutional
right and vote for the elevation Of
certain gentlemen to positions Of
responsibility and honor. Which
will it be? Your duty as homes
Republicans and loyal citizens calls
upon you to vote the straigh
Republican ticket, both state and
county, without a scratch.
Your state candidates are mel
OF unimpeachable character and 0,
course will have an old-fashionet
majority of at least one hundred
thousand. See that the party Of
Mckinley rolls up d Mckinley ma.
jority in Cameron county.
The most important matter for
your consideration is the election
of safe and good men to the re-
sponsible positions of Associate
Judge and County Treasurer of
this county. While the Press
has no intention to speak dispar-
agingly of the candidates placed
before you by our friends of the
other side, yet we should not be
doing our duty if we failed to call
your serious attention to some facts.
The office of Associate Judge is
of vast more Importance to the tax
payers of Cameron county than
you imagine. Questions are con-
tinually arising that, of necessity,
must be decided by the Associates
and they should be men Of ripe
business experience and therefore
familiar with public questions.
George A. Walker, your candidate,
by careful industry and economy
after years of hard labor as an iron
worker, having for more than
twenty years welded the hammer
and handled the tongs, rose, step
by step, until to-day he is is con-
sidered one of the best business
men in this section of the country
and identified with important
financial and manufacturing insti-
tutions. His ripe experience emf
nently fits him for election to the
position he so ably fills by appoint
ment of Gov. Stone. Again, Mr..
Walker is on the shady side of life
and as neighbor, good citizen and
faithful officer wherever called, it
is a duty we owe, one and all,
Qaying aside politics. to an honor
ed and respected citizen to give Mr..
Walker a practically unanimous
election. We have too much faith
in the good judgement of the citi-
zens of this county to believe they
will do otherwise.
The other important and respon-
sible position to which you are
called upon to elect is that of
County Treasurer. Both of the
candidates are young men of ability
and popular, especially so where
they are more familiarly known.
While we do not dispute the ability
of the gentleman presented by the
opposition, it does not prevent the
Republican party from praising the
signal fitness and ability of their
candidate, Mr.. Walter Yothers, of
Driftwood. He is q gentleman of
pleasing address, expert account
ant and obliging at all times. In
his intercourse with men he has
shown his sturdy character to be
such as to rally to his support,
practically the unanimous vote of
his neighbors, regardless of party.
That he will make a competent Of
fetal none can say to the contrary;
that he is entitled to the united
support of his party there can be
no valid reason offered why not.
The eastern section of the county
for the first time in twenty years
ask that they be accorded this Of
flee and strongly support Mr..
Gothers as their candidate. Their
demands should be listened to and
needed by the Republican party of
the county, Their demands, made
in strong terms, should receive
serious consideration by all who
