It will of course meet with opposition,
but the fight will be made. the impor-

The committeeman elected from the
several districts, will elect their own
Chairman. For this very important
office the name of Mr.. James H. Kan

the county, has been suggested. A
better selection could not be made.
Mr.. Ramon IS loyal Democrat. who
never has gone off after strange gods;
who never bolted the ticket or ran
against a Democratic nominee. He is
also, by both precept and example.
strong temperance man. He has made
one of the best officers the county ever
has. He is known and liked and tTus-
ted by the rank and file of the party
in every district In the county; and
his selection as Chairman of the Coun- !

chosen.
But before the election of Chairman
comes the election of the district COM
mitteemen next Friday. and then it is
that every temperance Democrat
should be at the polls early, active and
alert, on guard.
