and the Republicans all over the

cratic suffering
The Republicans of this county
know that for ten years they have
been in the majority and have elected
their candidates at every election.
They know that their confidence in
the old Democratic county officials,
their. reliance upon their honesty and
Integrity, was wholly misplaced
The Republicans of this county
know that the old Democratic ring
never permitted true return of the
votes until Harry Shaw as Republican
campaign manager jumped into the
ring, took the bull by the horns, setl
up nights and guarded the ballots,
and compelled justice to be done to
the Republican voters.
Had. it not been for Harry Shaw
the Republicans know that the coun.
ty would still be IN the grasp OF the
Democratic party.
And the Republicans of Manning

been men with Harry Shaw's back
bone earlier on the scene this county
"-ould have been enjoying the fruits
Of Republican government long before
The Warrington district Republi-
cans know that What the Times says
about Harry Shaw not being the
choice of their party for prosecuting
attorney is not true. Instead of being

Democrats and kept them down, and
hat is why they are highly amused at

And there is something beside
in their hearts. There is

The fight against Harry Shaw is
strengthening him where the Demo,
rats hoped to do just the opposite.
