1t is true the meetings havo

actual results Of the camnaiau

success and tradesmen. who how
enjoyed higher wages and better H..
ING under Republican prosnor;t'
n'edict only one result and that l.
Republican victory.
Inc dctual situation was merriam.
Best put by Peola farmer fa~
Gays agJ when he said the farmsr,
nave harvested good crops and how,
secured good prices for their nrod
ucts, their hogs have found an eager
market at a high price, every prod.
uct OF the country has been tnrnea
at a profit and the farmers are not
going to take any chances nv
change. The farmer comparas ~
polltical 4 uation to the faithful Oh
horse that has plowed his land ha1.
vested his crop and then hauled IN,
same to market. He says no practi-
cal farmer wculd trade that borso
Tor an animal about which he knaw
rothing.
When the farmer is prosperous
the entire country increases in
wealth. The merchant sells more
groceries and dry goods; the harness
dealer and hardware merchant finds
the farmer in the market for better
equipment, and the laboring man
more easily secures employment and
at better wages. 1t is to the farmer
that we must first look to ascertain
a country's condition. and when the
farmer has solved the question by
decision favorable to a continuance
of present policies. it is not unrea-
sCnable to presume the same line of
Logic has been employed by others.
Another interesting feature of tn.
vote this year is the elimination Of
scratching the ticket The energy
that has been injected into the ma
tional campaign and the election of
United States senators has practical
ly solidified the party vote through
out the country. The local issues
have been practically swept aside BY
the more important national affairs.
and where In former years friend
voted for friend. regardless of party
afiliat'ons. the ballots this year will
be cast for the issues represented bv
the various party Platforms. 1t /.
believed This will be particularly
true Of Nez perce county. where on

mot
Nez Perez county is vitality inter-
ested in the election of the United
States senator and in securing legis-
lation favorable to the State Nor
NAL school and the farming commun-
tiles. These issues are paramount to
the voters of Nez Perez county. AMI
In the realization that only success
can be attained by the strongest sup
port to the Republican ticket, it Is
now conceded the voters will cast
their ballots for the straight ticket.
