When the Lake County Democrat was
organized several months ago it was
done with the idea of publishing the Of
fetal democratic organ in Lake coun-
ty, and 1t was generally accepted as
such by the democrats of the county
because OF the representative demo-
Gratis who were stockholders and MEM
bers of the board OF directors. With
the exception of one issue the paper
has been appearing regularly, contain
ing in each issue good. live news and
political articles, the latter of such a
character that they were read with
much interest all over the county.
