ing from a republican standpoint e
watch the democrats in their frantic
attempts, this year, to try and keep vi
a dlssention in the ranks of the re-
| publican party. They are making the
try of their lives this year to build ur
a strong democratic machine I'm this
state, for they realize that it is this
year or never with them, but the re-
publicans viii not swallow the bait
| this time. it used to go, but ii won'i
go any more. The republicans have
had their differences and have settled
them in open fair fight and have put
a ticket before the people which thev
can be proud of. All the shouting that

the ticket this year. You, Mr. Voter.
who are not enthusiastic this year.
stop and think whether the democrats
are not the ones that are making the
howl to keep their own party in line
and get as many of the republicans to
split their ticket as possible 1t is an
old game of theirs, but the people are
on this year and the old game cannot
be worked.
Forman Independent: Last week We
made the assertion that we were UNI
versed regarding the political situa-
ton and we have not been able to
learn very much i'm the meantime.
However, we want to say that we are
for straight ticket, first, last and ii
the time. No matter whether you are q
democrat or q republican, stand by
your principles and vote for your par
ty straight through. At least down to
the county ticket. ser-t
You individual voters of Sargent
county, what do you or | know about
the men personally who are running
for state Offices. All we know is what
We read in the political organs of the
different candidates all or most of
which is the artistic work OF press
agents who are supplying the dope"
for remuneration either already re-
ceived or prospective. Why do YOU
cali yourself republican or a demo-
crat? Because you believe in the poll
cies and platforms of that party. Then,
when the majority of the people of
your party have selected the candi-
dates whom they think best suited to
carry out those policies and put them
up for the different offices in hopes of
landing them there so they, will be
able to carry out the wishes of your
party, at least be fair to yourself and
vote for the men and principles of your
own party and not be traitor to your
own welfare and vote for a man of
the opposition who is in duty bound
to support measures and policies of
the other party.
Let's digress. Liken the political
situation to the baseball rivalry he.

a good team and when we come 10

and six want another. OF course the
SIX being in the majority elect their
captain, Shall the other three play
ers play less hard because they could
not have their way about the captain
or shall: YOU and root" for the other
team on that account. On the other
hand let's put our shoulder to the
wheel and push our ball team ahead
in every way possible so they NAV
win a victory, over the rival town.
Also in this election, take off vo,1r
coats and labor necessarily for the

majority OF the party and on Nov. s.

the right calibre. You know them
personally; have business dealing with
them; go to the same church, visit
their homes; if they are right men

If not give your vote to the other can

knowledge of the particular candi-
date. Don't let anyone tell you about
the personality of your own county
officers whom you yourself should
know about, any more than you should
let the press representatives of the
rival candidates tell you through the
newspapers whole lot of blackguard-
ing insinuati1ns about the candidate
of your own party which you cannot
verify. @
