II the republican candidates were

I'D number of young men from

Mr.. Williams Address.
Mr.. Williams began by saying that
he was pleased to see so many young
republicans present and spoke in part
as follows:
We have been encouraged all
along the line or our campaign, and
the generous way in which this mem
bership roll has been signed shows
how very enthusiastic the young.
men are. We have had good meet-
ings and the enthusiasm for the re-
publican ticket was greater east OF
the Cheyenne river than we had an
ticipated. While our party had
little trouble before the June pri-
mary yet that is now dead and the
two factions of the party are unit
for the maintenance of the principles
Of republcanism
There are many ideas as to who
will be elected governor in this state
but what we want to do is to roll up
big majority for Vessey and the
whole ticket i'll this county. The
party is fortunate in its candidates
this year and from the top of the
ticket to the bottom they are all good
men and should receive a handsome
majority. The success of the tick
ct depends upon the young men TAX
ing an active part for, with the
counsel of the older men of the party,
we are able to take the initiative and
go ahead. We must work from now
till election day for the success of
the whole ticket and ii we do we will
be rewarded with victory. There are
no grounds to cut the ticket this year
and let me urge you to vote 1t
straight
1--WE have nominated good men for
the legislature and you must remem-
Der that the members of the legisla-
ture that are elected this fall will
assist in the election of United
States senator and it is absolutely
essential that we elect our republic
can legislative ticket. The demo-
Gratis cannot elect Lee or any other
democrat without the aid of repub-
lican votes and they have no good
reason this year to ask republicans
to vote their ticket. There Is no
kick on prosperity, no kick that the
national or state administrations have
not been satisfactory and no real
remedies offered for conditions other
than is contained in the republi-
can platform. The democratic plat
form is nothing more than theories.
while the republican platform is
record of work well done. II we
all do our part and work for the
whole ticket, there will be no doubt
as to the result and next Tuesday
will see republican victory
