how eintelligently the people have cast
their ballots on that question, / have
arrived at the conclusion that it was a
good law The people are given an op-

who they should send to the U. S. SEN
ate, and they have done that in this
state to such an extent at least as to
confirm my opinion that the great ma
jority of Republicans wanted M. N.
Johnson for u. S. senator. l have
known him great many years and
have every confidence in his itegrity
and ability, because know in his rec
ord as congressman from this state
he never betrayed a single trust and al
ways stood with his party on all public
questions in the interests of all the peo-
ple-the majority of the voters Of my
county registered their approval and on
their behalf as we'll as the great ma
jority of the Republicans Of the state,
I take pleasure in seconding the non,ina-

you will find his vote in the interests Of
the many people, and which is just and
right and at the same time being fair

nothing to the words-the eloquent
