REPUBLICAN TICKET,

Now that the Republican Nation
al. State and CountS tickets are
named, the next important step is to
elect the nominees chosen at the
primaries The state OF Wisconsin
is strongly republican, as indicated
at the state election two years ago.
Wood county is safely republican
by from 1000 to 1900 majority. With
this record in the past there is no
reason that We know of why the re-
publican ticket just selected at the
primaries should not be elected by
the people. This IS reported to be
O. democratic year. We do not under
stand what our democratic friends
mean by this statement, but they IN
doubtedIy want to convey the impress
sion that this is the year that they
are going to elect an entire demo
Gratis ticket. We can see no good
reason for this belief, unless the re-
publican voters Of the state are very
much dissatisfied with their party
and it's administration If the demo
cratic state and county ticket is to
be elected, it viii require republicans
to help them to do so. Does this
dissatisfaction exist? We do not be
Iieve that it does. However, it will
stand republicans of the state and
county in hand to organize well, pre-
pare an excellent state platform and
organize the counties into excellent
working forces for proper marshall,
| ing of republican forces to final vic
tory. This can be done and it ought
to be, and We have no fear Of the
results. Republicans attention-for
word march-don't allow the grass
to grow unde r your feet, and show
the enemy where to get off at.
