FIRST ROUND HAS BEEN FIRED

Nov Comes the Contest to Secure the
Coveted Prize.
Another primary election and the
second one has been experienced
throughout the state. The new
plan of selecting candidates still
finds favor with a good many e.
pecially the fortunate candidate and
some who would be unable to make
their influence felt through the
convention plan. The country people
take very little interest in this elec-
ton as they are to busy with farm
work and with the campaign just
closed it is demonstrated that it is
impossible to get those living out
of the village limits, interested to
any extent.
To great exent the primary law
does not find much favorwith the I'M
successful candidate or the defeated
ones. There arc instances and 1t is
the case IN this county where the
successful candidates virtually elect
ed at the primary. E. G. Pannell
auditor, Z. NJ. Crandall, county at
torney, c. M. Cory probate judge,
L.W. Abbott Couny Supt., and DR..
F. NJ. Manson coroner, have no
opposition, the democra ts failing to
select a man and there appeared to
be no aspirants, under the conven-
ton plan they would have had full
ticket. Elk. Smith for treasurer,
III. Hawley for register of deeds and
Newton Fauskee for sheriff are
again obliged to canvas the county
to secure their election and it is
going to require some work to pull
them through, hence there is two
campaigns for them. Two cam
paings in one year is expensive and
unpleasant for all, the voter as we'll
as the candidates.
As we have said before every
candidate uses the best method and
means he has at hand to win
therefore we shall again resort to
"b)owing our own horn' but en-
deavor not to spread 1t on too thick
but as we would for any other can
didate. While we won out over
our opponent yet we are not flushed
with self admiration of securing the
nomination. Had any of them been
selected the same hearty support
would have been given as we can
reasonably expect from them. AT
this time wa respectfully solicit their
full and unequivocated support.
The campixn was conducted in a
gentlemenly manner and we have
vet to hear of the first instance
where an unkind word was spoken
of any candidate. We desire at this
time to express our thanks to the
many friends who faithfully sup
ported us and the results far exceed
ed our hopes. We shall endeavor
to merit q continuance of that sup
port and the support of our oppon-
ents friends in the remainder of the
campaign and at this time solicit
such support. If We succeed in se!
curing the Office the business will be
properly conducted in every detail
and point. Our friends can vouch for
us on this. They can also unheslta-
tingly vouch for our being q loyal
working republican. In any refer
ence to ourselves or other republican
candidates we do not intend to cast
any rehectioron the defeated men
or the democratic nominees.
E. K. Smith for treasurer. Mr..
Smith is Mobiles county boy. One
ofthe wheel horses of the party this
county. He is fully qualified for the
position. No republican voter has
any excuse for neglecting or declin-
ing to support him. There may be
times when some think they are
justified in not supporting the man
of their own party but here is case
of where every republican who has
the party interest in mind, should
stand loyalty by the nominee.
With all of his years of party work
he has never before sought your
support and it is due him now from
