DEMOCRATIC COUNTY TICKET
Review OF the pariy's Candidates for the
Various Office.

the Democratic party is one which deser-
YES and should receive earnest support at
the polls next Tuesday. Several of the
nominees are the present incumbents OF
the offices to, which they aspire and have
proved themselves competent in every
way. The other nominees on the ticket
are also capable men and w~elI-known
citizens. They are all. men OF honesty
ard integrity. well qualified for the per
Torrance of the duties of the respective
Offices to which they have been nomin-
ated, and we believe they win be sus-
tanned at the polls by many citizens not
of their political faith, who are willing to
give them an opportunity to conduct the
public business in the same careful and
conscientious manner as they transact
their own private business. Any votes
cast against the Democratic candidates
will be cast solely on political grounds,
and not because the candidates themsel-
yes are unworthy or underserving.
In this connection 1t is timely to call
attention briefly to the platform upon
which the Democratic county candidates
stand and which declares for a strong
and efficient county government and for
the enforcement of the law without res
pect to persons or class; for the increase
and extension of the county's educational
facilities so that the advantages Of higher
education may be obtained at home; for
modern, substantial public improvements
and the maintenance Of good roads and
bridges; the regulation of the hours of
labor by the State; a reasonable increase
in the salaries of county officers, which
are not now adequate to insure effective
county payErnmapt nm account nf tho
vastly increased amount Of work which
the officers have to perform; the abate-
ment of extortionate transportation
charges in this State, pledging the legis-
lative nominees to use every effort TO
tina end; and, in conclusion. pledging
the legislative nominees to the support
of Francis G.. Newlands for United States
Senator.
No stronger, more just or palmer dec
iaration of principles was ever adopted
In this county and the principles set
forth should be sustained by the people
at the polls.
OF the nominees on the ticket 1T is not
necessary to say much of an Introductory
or eommendatory nature.
The legislative ticket is remarkably
strong and IS entitled to the concentrated
Sbppptl VI Rht lualun NOitTS Oh the cbun-
ty for the strongest party reasons. Upon
the candidates for State Senator and AS
semblymen will devolve the carrying out
of most Of the pledges contained in the
county platform. Those who believe in
the PRINCIPLES set forth In that platform
should vote for the Democratic legis-
lative nominees without regard to pos
sible personal objections to any lndivid-
ual candidate.
II houh be borne In mind that the
Democratic legislative candidates arc
spIedged 10 the unqualified support OF
Francis G. Newlands for United States
Senator and for this reason, IL there
were no others. they should receive the
vote of every Democrat and Silver party
man in the county. The ticet Is headed
by c. Fl. e. Hardin for State Senator

representative citizen could not have
