The policy OF the Republican party
should be to distribute the offices well
throughout the county and not con-
fine the nominations so largely TO the
county seat, as has been the custom

the whole thing and get nothing. Ad-
ans county is growing, and all Sec
tions should be carefully considered.

only be placed upon the ticket, max
ing up a good personnel which will
being the thoughtful attention OF the
voters and command the universal
respect of our people, thereby ad.
vancing the policies of the present
national administration which has
done SO much for our country in the
last few years.
