by the manipulatorS Of Republican poll
ties In this county, wherein Il few henCh-
men Of designing politician attempt to
perpetuate mismanngemcnt lncompctcncy
and graft by naming their own personal
friends and supporters months In advance
Of the holding OF the nominating conven-
tons.
Nominating in Advance.
"If 1t appears that an attempt is to be
made TO carry out the programme.
non-partlsan ticket Will undoubtedly be
ramcd In the county. and II. through
these influences, State officers who have
been forgetful of their official oaths arc
lenominated by the Republican conven-
lion, 1t ie highly probable that 4 non
partisan State ticket Will be in the field
at the election TO be held In November"
