A PRAYER to Be Honest

The earl of Hopetown, in Scotland,
has in his possession an old, BRASS
bound leather-covered ledger which he
prizes very highly.
1t belonged TO John Hope. the found
er OF the family, who kept shop in
Edinburgh 200 years ago.
The first entry in that ledger reads
as follows: 20 Lord, keep me and this

certainly be much higher standard
OF commercial morality than at pres

We we're approached last Saturday b

We were approached last Saturday by
q gentleman who was the spokesman
for a number of citizers of his commu-
nitv and asked to permit the use OF our
name as a candidate in the coming pri-
mary for the legislature. We naturally
felt complimented by the suggestion,
but declined, assuring the gentleman
that we had determined to remain out
of active participation in the coming
primary, and would only exercise the
privilege of casting vote. We have
served the people and in doing so, we
endeavored to do our duty, and as
there are no pressing issues to create a
demand for an exponent, we canuot see
any good reason why we should recon
slider our long ago announced deter
mination to not be candidate for any
Office. We are so constituted that we
always try to do just what we say we
will, and when we said We would not be
candidate in the coming primary we
meant it to the extent. that If every
voter in the county were to obligate
himself to vote for US in the event we
became a candidate it would not
swerve US from the purpose to remain
private citizen. We hope however
there will be no scarcity of candidates
for every office to be filed, and the
party rules will be so amended that
fair play will be guaranteed to all OF
them
