if elected, she will not attempt to

We believe that every man should
be the absolute sovereign of him
self We believe in honest indie
pcndence. The Republican party
has ever been the champion of
free and honest Thought. We take
off our hats to the man who says
he intends to 60 into the election
booth q free man and come out of
ii q free man. Such men are the
stay and hope of this Republic.
But we must pause and consider.
We believe in Republican princi-
pies. We desire the success of
our ticket in the nation, the state
and the county. The other side
would not dare to ask us to scratch
off any cne of these three parts Of
our ticket. They would fail if
they attempted it. How do they
come! With a request that we
scratch one or two names. They
90 to another and ask him to
scratch off some others, and thus
around the county, and If they
succeed the deed is done. They
have done in detail what they
could not have done in any other
way.
In union is strength, and just as
truly in division is weakness. We

Let us join hands in Potter
County this fall: let us pledge
ourselves by the loyalty we cher
ish for a great party. the party
that has written the history of this
country for half a century, chat
has performed every duty that has
devolved upon it, that has kept
every promise it has ever made;
that we will be true to its friends,
that we will support it's supporters,
and whether out lot be victory or
defeat we will have accomplished
the greatest. work ever done in
Potter County. We will have
united the Republican party.
Weaver, his friends call him
Mont" Weaver, is adding friends
wherever he goes. Two men were
before the Convention for County
Treasurer. Mr.. Weaver and Nh.
Rosa. The convention could not
have made a mistake if it tried.
Both were good men, first class,
not a blot or blemish on them.
Only one could be nominated and
Mr. Weaver coming from the east
end, where the larger vote is, was
successful. We believe either
man would be, a credit to the tick
et. Mr. Weaver was commission
ed by the party as it's candidate.

capable. He has no schemes for
sudden wealth, he is chasing no
rainbows. but is a patient, honest
and steady worker. Not a ques-

ity. He is an honest farmer, one
of the plain people and we are
glad to have the honor Of support
ing him.
