getting a contract for a drainage

to meet the authorities, bringing with
him his "cautioner," or guarantee

The cautioner, who was a very

When the contractor appeared, the
chairman asked If he had brought
with him his cautioner.

The keynote Of the recent county
convention was harmony. All good
republicans are for harmony. Any
measure that will teHd to reduce
the power Of the professional polid-
clans and confer more on the masses
will be conducive to party harmony.
One Of the best means to bring this
about is through the primary system
for the nomination OF county officers.
The only ones who oppose the primary
are the politicians. and their only
reason for 1t Is because IL curtaiIs
their power.
