Don't Spoil Your Ballot.

Four years ago large number of votes
we're lost TO tho local candidates on ac-
count of the voters marking in the square
at the top of the column containing the
names of the Presidential electors, be-
lieving that he was voting for the whole
ticket, whereas the ballot counted for the
electors only. When that is done it is
necessary to make cross opposite the
name of each of the other candidates for
whom you desire to vote, To vote the
straight ticket cross in the square oppo-
site the name of the party on the extreme
left of the ballot, is all that Is required.
For instance: The first column on the
ballot is composed of the party names,
beginning with the Republi can party.
To vote straight Republican ticket,
then it is only necessary to make your
cross in the square attached to that party.
When you have done this do not mark
anywhere else as by so doing you are
liable TO lose your vote for the Republi-
can Presidential candidate. Be careful
in voting, thus avoiding mistakes that
may invalidste your entire ballot,

A VOTE for Sharp Maxwell, is vote to
place in the Sheriff's Office an honest
laboring man, who has earned his living
and reared his family by hard toll; has
discharged every honest obligation and
stands today as one of Forest county's
most upright and highly respected citi-
zens. Sharp will make a splendid off,
cial, having cool, clear head, good
education and plenty of nerve. And
with@l this he is good, loyal Republi-
can, and having been fairly nominated
by that party be deserves, and we believe
will receive, the vote of every member of
his party. Mr.. Maxwelrs Democratic
opponents are busily circulating the false
hood that be became Republican in or
der to get office, and then argue that Re-
publicans ought to vote the Democratic
ticket. The fact of the matter is that
Sharp voted for President Mckinley
twelve years ago, and thousands of DEM
ocrals did likewise, and from that day TO
the present he has been staunch Re-
publican, and at the approaching election
his vote will be for Taft and prosperity as
against Bryan and ruin, and that ought
to be enough to squelch any canard that
he is not sound, loyal Republican
Stand by him and help to swell his ma
jority.

FOREST COUNTY never had a more
careful painstsking effici lent and oblging
official than j. C. Geist, the nominee of
the Republican party for ProthOnotary.
Hundreds of people who have had occa-
sion TO do business at his office will
cheerfully testify to the truth of this as
sertion. No man ever went to the Pro-
thonotary's office to transact business that
did not come away with higher regard
for Mr.. Geist than when he went there,
and this without regard to his political
affiliations. Every one receives the most
courteous attention. His experience and
thorough knowledge OF the books and
records of his office makes him a most
valuable man to the taxpayers and citi-
zens of the county, for il is not necessary
to take a lawyer to the PIothonotary's
office when you have business to trans
act there. The Eumblest citizen can get
what information pertains to his business
without cent of cost. With a new in
cumbent in that office this would be i'm
possible. A vote for Mr. Gei>t is vote
directly for your own interest. Remem-
ber this on election day.

Last Warning to Republican Voters of
Forest County.

AS Chairman of the Republican Com
mlttee, deem it incumbent to call the
attention of the Republican voters of the
several election precincts of this County,
as to their duties Tuesday, November Sd.
The highest, most responsible and pa
triouc duty that devolves upon an
American citizen is the exercise of his
sovereign power at the ballot box; they
then elect lawmakers and executive
officers, and hence are responsible for the
manner of their execution.
The question is, shall we support the
principles and policies of the Republican
party that have given this country such
large measure of prosperity and happi-
ness, or shall we try the shifting and un-
stable yagaries of Organism, which are so
closely allied with Socialism?
The national tickets are Taft and Bryan.
The daily press has fully set forth to the
American people the qualifications of
each as leaders of the two great parties.
The editor of this paper has frequently
stated the qualifications of each and every
Republican candidate of this County,
which are not now necessary to repeat.
However, have advised the following,
which appeared in the FOREST REPUBLI-
CAN, October 2lst; to reappear in this
article:
"Vote for Taft, Sherman, Porter,
Wheeler, Rice Mechling, Geist, Maxwell,
Harrison, Zuendel, Gregg, Warden and
Sibble. One cross will do the job"
Twill further say that when you go in
to the booth to mark your ballot it will
be dangerous for you to make cross OPP
posite some candidates name not a Re-
publican, as you may lose the entire bal
lot, or in other words your ballot may be
thrown out, and not one candidate will
receive your support. In conclusion,
further wish to call the attention of the
Republican voters to what was done in
this County two years ago in regard to
Assembly. l find that statistics show
that this county gave Republican ma
july vi tu1 iOi pONOihOiT anu thO oolhO
election reports show that the Democratic
candidate for Assembly received % more
votes than the Republican candidate for
Assembly.
viii this be repeated in regard to the
Assembly Nov. Sd, 1908? l beg leave to
say, from reliable reports that have re-
ceiYed that the Republican voters of this
county will redeem what was lost two
years ago. And for your further infor-
nation wish to call your attention to the
fact that in 1909 the members of the
House of Representatives and Senate will
elect United State Senator. Think this
matter over carefully if you have any in
tention of splitting your ballot. Don't do
so. Yours,
IL. S. BRoCKwAY, Chairman.

To ATTRACT votes, silent votes, Mr..
Bryan is circulating two political docu-
ments of strictly personal nature. One
is the "Prince OF Peace" sermon, which
is mailed to members of all denomina-
tons. 1t is expected to do effective work
among the religious and benevolent, to
whom it is a bid to support Mr.. Bryan as
a truly virtuous man of lofty ideals and
atruistic purposes-the good man who
could do no wrong. The other document
is an account Of Mr.. Bryans visit to the
Vatican, in which he gives an appreciative
and pleasing picture OF Plus X. This is
sent only to Catholic voters. There is no
reason why any one should not resent Mr..
Bryan's unctuous solicitations to vote for
him for reasons of religion. They will
react upon him, for the American people
hate humbug.

RESULT OF RING RULE.

In discussing the reasons why the
people are more and more studying the
which favors the adoption Of
the direct primary method Of nominat
ing public servants, we find ourselves
obliged to side with Governor Wood
ruff rather than with the esteemed
Hartford Courant The former has the
real reasons at his disposal, with per-
sonal experience to support them
Says the Courant: "The growth of
sentiment in favor of the direct prirn-
airy is noticed by people In many parts
OF the state 1t Is a natural outgiving
Of disposition on the part Of the vot-
ers to do their own business instead Of
entrustng to delegates to perform a
rather unexpected roast Of the aver
age delegate. Later on in its article
II says: "The convention has lost pub
lie confidence, and the chief reason for
this Is found In the persistent refusal
of those In charge to put into effect the
simple rule of honesty which goes
with the provision for roll call when
