But one name has, we believe, been
suggested from this County for The
nomination, the name OF Townser d
A. Ely, OF Arcadia. Mr. sEly's ability,
honesty, devotion 20 Republic An
principles, and fitness for this
honor are so generally recognized that
we feel that we are vOciug the unaL-
lm0us sentiment OF this convention
when we recommend that Mr. Ely also
select his own delegates
Again pTOclaiming our unwavering
laith In the party OF Lincoln, Garfield,
Blain. Mckinley and Roosevelt, the

envy OF the entire world, we enter
upon the campaign Of 1904 with re.
newed faith. courage and confidence
