REPUBLICAN NOMINEES

| his work. In fact, I think a change
now and again is good thing and no
reflection on the man who goes out as
a result of the change. Conditions are
changing here under the new order of
| things so rapidly that I sometimes
think that experience under former
conditions is detriment rather than
a benefit. However, be that as it may.
Lane, Dowsett and Bishop are the
candidates of the party and we are
out to be elected. We are well known
to the older residents and perhaps as
we'll known as any other candidate to
| those of you who have not lived here
| long.
1 shall endeavor in what speech
making / do during this campaign to
leave out personal references and con-.
fine my efforts to the issues before US,
therefore 1 shall begin following this
principle for the present at least by
cutting out any lengthy extollation as
to the character and abilities of my
associates or the ticket or of myself.
1t is sufficient to say that We are hon.
est men and have an honest purpose
in seeking election at your hands. We
have something to gain if we be elect
ed. and serve our constituents honestly
=
do not do so and as all of us are
self-respecting enough to stay with our
party and do our best, I think we can
feel reasonably assured that We shall
have your votes. I warn you against
free lances in the shape of independ-
ent candidates particularly independ-
ent candidates who were unsuccessful
candidates at the convention last week
Remem Der that vote for an indie
pendent is one against each party can
didate on the ticket and it means that
Lane, Dowsett or Bishop are one less
strong. Personally 1 am not alarmed
over the appearance of an independent
candidate and believe that we will win
out with wide margin to spare.
Now as to the House candidates-in
the Fourth there appears to be perfect
harmony-but We hear more or less
adverse comment on the Republican
ticket from the Fifth district. I don't
know intimately all of the men from
the Fifth but I do know some of them,
and I believe that we will find them
quite able to do their duty if elected.
The comment by the papers upon this
subject is apt to give one the tired
feeling as they hit so wide of the
mark, or fail TO signally get at the
bottom OF II.
If the papers would put in their time
in trying to get the people to take an
interest in the precinct organization
and primaries it might bear some |
fruit, but it is childish to complain aft |
er the ticket has been named. If the |
so-called better material does not turn |
out and exercise its citizens rights, |
why complain.
1t is a fact within my knowledge, |
that in this very Fifth district at |
tempts We're made to get people Of the |
class on the ticket but they |
were all too busy. Consequently the |
precinct clubs put forward the best
men they had that would serve-and |
there you are. Had better men been I
turned down by the Fifth than were
named there might be a chance for /
but under existing circum-
are none, so hope that !
he newspapers will give US rest. No 4
1oubt instead of a rest it Will be a 1
coast, for me. but never mind. AS I
nave said before. gentlemen, we are
lere before you ready to give the best
hat is in us for the service of the Ter
itory and I venture to hope that you
viii be with US first. last and always:
md also that the straight ticket will
appeal to you as being the best Ia
