JUNE 4rH THE DAY.

The Republicans OF Marion county
will have their first opportunity to
take an active and direct hand in Sc.
lecting their candidates for the Vari-
Gus State officials from Governor
down, on June the 4th, the date OF
the State wide primary. The primary
method Of making nominations is
proving TO be very popular with the
people and the voters should show
their appreciation in being given the
privilege OF voting for their choice d.
rect. as well as their interest in the
political affairs OF the State. Every
Republican voter should come out on
June 4th and help TO select good
State ticket.
Another important election to be de.
cided on that day is who will repre-.
sent this county on the State commit.
tee. An effort is being made by those
who have the interest of the party at
heart, 10 select big, capable, and hon.
est men for tI.s position, men who
cannot be influenced by improper
means nor coerced to anything which
their duty as such committeeman would
prescribe should not be done,
The Republicans want fair trl.
bunal TO glide the destinies of the par.
ty in the future and the way to get
that representative on the State com.
mite is to vote and work for a good,
strong substantial man. known better
for his standing as man than for his
political zeal.
