TO THE YOUNG
REPUBLICANS

boy or girl who will cast his or
her first vote next Tuesday. 1t Is
not necessary to remind you of the
grave Importance of the act which
you are about to perform. You have
studied the problems Of government
end you understand full well what
grave responsibility the elective
franchise entails. But there is one
thing Of which you need to be care
full and that is to see to it that your
vote is not thrown away.
You want your vote to count! You
want to make your personal infu.
ence in this election felt. Other
wise there is no need of voting. But
there are divers ways in which you
can absolutely waste your vote. One
of these Is by voting for men whose
chances for election are absolutely
nil. 1t is quite natural that the
young heart should respond some
what sympathetically to the new
and the untried. Out of the desire

bred contempt for the things which
now are and a corresponding yearn-
ing to try something new. Not al
ways the DANGER OF experiment
with untried gods, and policies, kept
prominently in mind. And yet the
wreck of the proudest nations which
have graced the earth in the past
is strewn with the debris of fallen
idols, and premature hopes, which
have blossomed for the moment only
to fail under the rigid demands of
stable government.
The Bull Moose movement is
spectacular one. One of the most
spectacular figures in modern his
tory has selected himself to lead the
movement. Many of the disgruntled
office seekers Of the past have rallied
to his red bandana. The plum hunt
ers, the down-and-outers, the has
beens, and a few,-a very few real
reformers have identified themselves
with the new party. But remember
young voter, the real solid men OF
the nation; the men in whom you
have confidence-based on previous
experience-are not affiliated with it.
They are standing squarely on the
record of President Taft, and the
party that has done SO much toward
Che making of this great republic Of
ours. They know in which way lies
safety, and they are refusing to be
mlsled by the foolish and frenzied
appeal of the Bull Moose.
But regardless of what your feel
ings as. to the national issue may
be this much is certain; you cannot
...oru to throw away your vote To-
cally by voting for the men who have
been put upon the Bull Moose ticB-
ct IN Cacne Valley. Every Republi-
can vote given to the local Bull
for the Democrats. Remember this
when you cast your vote Tuesday
next. The men put up for county
commissioners on the Republican
ticket are splendid men every one
Of them. They are men who by ex-
perience and nature are worthy OF
your highest confidence. Regardless
of whether or not they are better
than the Democratic nominees II they
are as good 1t is your duty to vote
for them That they are as good no
one who knows candidates on both
tickets will deny. You, then, as q
Republican, should support them with
your vote because, If for no other
reason than that, they are REPUS-
LICANS.
Vote as you will upon the national
issue but for the sake of the party
and yourself you cannot afford to
vote against the local nominees Of
your party by voting for the Demo
cratic nominees, or by throwing
away your vote on the local Bull
Moose candidates. The men here at
home you know, and they are men
whom you or any other honest in
dividual can support. See to it then,
that Cache County once again is
placed well in the lead in the Re-
publican column.
