He had pointed the way. He is

are spending a great deal of time
and space advising the Democrats
to nominate Gov. johnson of MIN
ne ota for president. They keep
up an argument that he would be
a stronger candidate than Brysb.
This sort of paIaveriug is echoed
BY the local politicians in every
community. The question nat
urally arises, why are they SO So
llcltOus about the Democratic
nominee being so strongl If they
are Republicans, and they pro-
fess to he, why this desire to have
the Democrats nominate a man
who is strongY Honest differences
of opinions as to the strength of
candidates and which one should
be nOmina ed may exist between
Democrats themselves. but why
is il that the Republicans are SO
much interestedl Gov. johnson
! is a very good man. and is our
second choice for the nomination.
But we do not think this is the
time to swap horses. Mr.. Bryan
is the man who should and will be
placed at the head of the Demo-
cratic ticket, and he will be elect
ed President. Our solicitous Re-
publican friends know this. They
know that Mr.. BRYAN occupies a
position in the minds of the Amer
lean people, away and above that
of any other man. and that is the
reason they are urging the nomi-
nation Of an estimable, but not a
stronger. man for the honor. Their
desire to point out the way for the
Democrats is certainly a bit OF
friendv advise, but a bit that is
not likely to be followed. 1t saw

Large oysters.

There are two kinds of large oysters:
those that have grown large and those
that are bloated to an unnatural size
with fresh water.
Large Oysters sold from the White
Porcelain Case bearing the blue "Seal-
shipt" Trade Mark are wholesome and
delicious because they are naturally
large, having attained their size in their
native environment.
Beware Of the tub-shipped big oysters;
water is packed with them-they are
"swelled" and have lost their natural
color and flavor.
"Sealshipt" Oysters, the daintiest,
tirmest in the world, have not had water
in contact with them at all. They are
just the natural size and color rs they
were when shucked into the alright,
galvanized steel container that carries
them direct from the beds to our store.
We sell "Sealshipt' Oysters only.
People go out of their way to come here
for them. Harry ]. Vogt 4 Co.,
