SOMD FINAL REASONS.

This Is the last issue of The Repub-
lican that will get to many OF Its coun-
ty subscribers before the end of the
present campaign. 1t has endeavored
at all times during this campaign to
givetoits readers nothing but the plain,
unvarnishedt truth. II it has erred in the
slightest degree, 1t has not been In
territorial, 1t has pointed out why Mr..
Bryan was q dangerous man to put In
the presidential chair and has given
the exact truth about Mr.. Taft's UNI
paralleled qualifications for the place.
1t believes on the eve of this great
election that Mr.. Taft Is the safest
man and the best qualified man the
American people could elect for presi'
dent. He not only had the early train
ing, but has had wide experience in
all kinds of government affairs. He Is
true to labor as well as to capital. He
believes In giving every man a square
deal. AS judge, he was just to all. His
decisions In favor Of the labor unions
defined their rights in such an able
manner that they have since been fol-
lowed by union men in maintaining
their rights. In this particular matter
the democratic leaders have tried their
best, but happily without avail, to
make laboring men believe Mr.. TAFT
was against them. 1t was a mean,
%scurrilous thing to do. Court decis-
ions and court practice are not easily
understood, and for that reason the
democrats have made a strenuous eff
fort to play upon the passion and pre-
jujice of those whom they have con-
sidered ignorant. American working
men are not as ignorant as demo-
cratic leaders believe them to be. This
is the age of the daily paper and the
telegraph. Every man is reading and
forming his own conclusions. He is
quick to resent a studied effort to de-
ceive and hastens to give every man
Justice. For this reason The Republi-
can believes that Mr.. Taft will poll
not only the entire republican strength,
but a great many independent demo
cratic voters.
The Republicanasks the voterso of this
county to stand by Mr.. Mondell, be-
cause he is a fearless, energetic, honest
and able representative Of the people.
He has devoted his entire time. during
many years. to the service Of the peo-
pie of this state. They have a%ppreciat-
ed that exceptional service by return
ing him again and again by increased
majorities. Albany county has ever
been his friend and he has ever been
the warm friend of Albany county. It
would be a credit to our people If his
majority here were greater than ever
before.
The Republican asks the support OF
the people Of this county for the ex-
cellent republican legislative ticket.
There Is every reason to believe that
the great majority of the members OF
the legislature will be republican in
politics, hence it would be to the great
disadvantage of the county not to have
a delegation in strict accord herewith.
As hitherto pointed out, 1t is always
folly to have a legislative delegation
pulling at cross purposes with the
state administration, and administra-
ton able and conservative In Its
management. 1t might be wcdl t. note
in passing. that this state administra-
ton is cutting dcwn the state debt
every year. For business reasons it
is we'll to be squarely in line. The
Republican asks the people Of this
county to support George Eykyn for
the state senate, for the reason that
he is a stanch republican and will
stand FOR the protective tariff, a policy
SO vital to the best interests of the
state. It urges his election for the
reason that the senator elected at this
time will have q vote for a senator of
fhe United states to succeed Hon.
Clarence D. Clark, and for the further
that 1t would bo a calamity To-
the state to have Mr.. John e Osborne
in that position. In this particular 1t
be within the power Of q single
voter in this county to AFFECT the policy
Of the nation.
The Republican asks the peoQas oil
This county to support the excellent
nominated by the fepubtl
can convention for the c1mfnisstuners'g
board They Ire men 'of aballtT ind
