but in a different way. The purposes
OF the strongest democrat are the
same as mine and that is that this
town, state and nation shall be the

This is one Of the most important
campaigns We ever entered on barr

civil war.
1t makes little difference who rep
resents the district for long or a

by doctrines and intend to do the best

The republican party believes that
a political promise made to the peo-
pie is to be kept, and that political
platforms are more than something to
get i'll on and then be forgotten.
