The election for state and county oth-

and without prejudice to any one. ana
with no prospect or thought or any

Don't let demagogues and unscru-

lot to help elect men of known honor
and ability, clean men, God-fearlns
and home and country-loVins men
who will help TO uplift instead OF tear

The question of dispenSary, local op-

so far as the office of governor is con-
cerned. has no place in this election
1t is a question of the character ana

dishonor and a step backward ana
downward that will be discredit for

and your fathers welfare. do not let
| thoughtless and prejudiced men per-
suade YOU to stine any impulse that has
n tendency to make you and your
country better. You know right Is
right and wrong is wrong. Many un-
scrupulous and wicked men have been
| elected to office by the ballots OF

they stand we'll in their own communi-
