So far as politics is concerned the
county of Republic looks safe for the
, square deal. Stubs carried the county
two years ago by 240 votes and they
are claiming it for him this year by

Therefore, with the sole assurance

freely and fairly present the questions
to YOU; that he will not plead with you
