Voters, Ask Yourself This Question.

NUtcTS, hSh IUuTScI HIS QueStlOu.
Voter. before you step into the
booth on election day to cast your
vote, one of the most sacred rights of
the American citizen, ask yourself the
following question:
Is it an honorable thing to do. to go
to Primary Election, ask for bal.
lot of certain party. be it Republi.
can or Democratic, and thereby de-
clare yourself member, a supporter
and voter of that party, go into the
booth and vote for candidates on that
ballot, and then at the fall election to
repudlate your own vote IL the pri-
mary by voting for candidate of an
other party in November? Do you
not, by your action at the primary, de-
clare that you want to see the man
You vote for nominated and elected at
the fall election:
If there has been no subsequent ac-
tion on the part of the candidate to
discredit himself in the eyes of the
party, then he is entitled to the vote
of every man who voted for him at
the primary. regardless of what part
he belongs to- Isn't that reasonable?
Warren Garst SAYS mdR axer 4 nso7hs nnsoo7mhshaiiss
ed for Governor of Iowa. He says,
more over that he was nominated by
one of the finest contests ever conduct
ed by the republican or any other
party in the state. In view OF these
facts, Mr.. Garst believes that every
republican vote should be given to
Mr.. Carroll. He earnestly hopes for
the election of the whole republican
ticket and will do everything in his
power to bring this result about. -
Glidden Graphic.
1t is needless for US to urge the re-
publicans of Winneshiek to vote for
Congressman G. N. Haugen next
Tuesday. He is personally known by
very large number of the voters OF
this county. and so we'll liked by all
that he will doubtless run ahead OF
the ticket. His splendid record OF SER
vit,. his close attention to every de-
tai of his duties, and his ABSOLUTE
fairness in all public matters have
strengthened his hold upon the people
year by year.
