REPUBLICANS HAVE A GOOD
TICKET-STIcK TO IT.

April the voters of the Twelfth
judicial circuit will name the man who
is to administer justice for the coun-
ties of Houghton, Baraga and Kewee-
nav during the ensuing six years. For
the first time in the history of the dis
trict they will have the privilege of
voting for men nominated by the peo-
pie and for the people. The Republi-
cans have named for this honorable Of
fee w. j. Macdonald. He is the
choice not of any machine. clique, COM
bination or corporation, but of ma
jority of the people of his party. He
entered the race against strong opposi-
ton and won solely on his merits, be-
cause the people had confidence in him
and believed that he, better than any
other, was qualified to fill the Office.
The Republican party is greatly in
the majority in the Twelfth Circuit.
To retain this advantage the party
must cleave together. Fortunately the
Republicans have as their candidate
man upon whom they can unite, one
whom they can consistently support to
the last ditch. The Democrats have
named as their candidate the best man
available, and he is entitled to the sup
port of his party, but as between the
two men, there is no reason in the
world why he should receive any sup
port from the Republican party.
For Republican to vote on April 8
for Democratic candidate would be
to confess that he does not approve Of
the primary system; that he is not cons
tent to abide by the will of his party
as expressed by majority, in other
words that he is Republican only so
long as it best suits his convenience to
be so, and not from principle and con-
science.
There has been and there still is an
effort to stir up discord within the
ranks of the party. The source of
certain amount Of this opposition is
known and was to be expected. 1t can
bear little weight; will. in fact, bear
none with those who are at all familiar
with the situation. But it is wrong to
attempt to create m impression sf dis
cord; it gives to the opposition added
strength, and weakens the party. not
only for the time being. but for the:
future.
The Copper Journal believes that it
is time for this talk to cease. The dis
gruntled are entitled to their personal
opinions, but when they seek to foist
these opinions upon the public as the
expression of their party or of any
considerable portion of that party,
they are guilty of misrepresentation
and make themselves obnoxious.
In w. ]. Macdonald the Twelfth ju-
dicial circuit has candidate who has
no strings attached to him; man who
will administer justice freely and fully,
without regard to personal or other
considerations; man who is unencum-
bered by debt to any interest or fac
ton; one who fully comprehends the
responsibilities of his Office, the sacred
ness of his duty to the people, and who
has the force of character to be i'm
partial in all his decisions and to exer-
else the great power which is vested in
him without fear or favor.
Such man is William j. Macdonald.
Every Republican in the Twelfth judi
cial circuit should be proud of the priv
ilege of voting for him, secure in the
knowledge that If elected he will be
credit to the bench. There will always
be some disaffected ones-can you re-
member primary contest which has
been without them? The party cannot
afford to give heed to their plants.
There is but one thing to be done-ig-
more them, completely, and cast your
ballot on April for the choice Of the
majority, your party's candidate and
YOUR candidate. Copper Journal.
