possible and when once the order is
given to move on, to make hamlet
campaign until the day of election.

ones on the ticket there seems to be no
reason why the entire ticket should
not receive the usual republican
majOritieS. They realize that the
opposition party has placed in nomi-
nation their best men and that the
fight To be made will be determined
one. This being a national, state and
county election will have much to do
with results as there will be DO stone
unturned to get the voters interested
and out on election day. AS far as
the county campaign is concerned it
will be conducted in the fairest
possible manner, leaving it to the
voter for verdict.
1t might be we'll at this time to
bring to the voters attention the per-
souality Of the republican county
ticket and for whom they will be asked
to vote at the November election,
