very clean and strong ticket-one

Plata county should fall in line with a
substantial majority, If the desired
results are accomplished it is neces-
sary for the party to select the right
kind of local candidates and above
all, an organization that has the con
fidence of the people, and particularly
SO of the party. The Herald has no
fsvorites to push forward, being will
ling that convention of represen-
tative Republicans shall place upon
the ticket men who will command the
respect and support of their partg

izenship.
