republican party set forth in its ma

have proved so beneficial in the past.

We heartily endorse the administra-

We recognize him as a man of SINGER

the affairs of this state have been well
managed under his guidance.
We are pleased that the opportunity
will soon present itself again to show
our appreciation of the splendid work

one way in which we can express our
approval in practical manner and
that will be done at the republican con-

district by rendering to Colonel Hep

congress.
We congratulate the republicans of
Lucas county on the splendid showing
made in the county at the last general
