THE TICKET.


When You go to the polls to vote next
Tuesday don't forget that every republi=
can candidate on the ticket represents q
party which has brought you work;
which has made it possible for mortgages
to be paid OF; for new enterprises to BE-
established; homes and store buildings
to be erected; has in short brought you
moro prosperity in the last four years
than was even promised by the republi-
cans. No nation in the world enjoys the
luxuriss that we do and no people can
deplore their absence as our nation.
When you vote don't forget that you
have enjoyed luxuries under republican
administrations and exactly the opposite
under democratic rule. Don't forget

support because they are the men who
represent law and order.
