day the law provides for the effecting

The interest taken in the meeting il
indicative of party success in this
county and it is said the same interest

leading papers, literature, etc. and all
are urged to drop in and get acquainted.

an hour or so amid congenial surround
ings.
The campaing will be open at once
and conducted along vigorous lines.
We have the best kind Of ticket up
this year, the people want a change in
the national administration and with
the present disgust entertained by
many progressive republicans for Roose-
welt and his one man party the chances
were never brighter for the success Of
the democratic ticket from top to bot
tom. The people saw fit to trust the
the lower house Of congress to the
democrats two years ago and they have
proven worthy of the trust.
In the state, Hawley has made re-
cord that means his return to office by
large majority and the county offices
occupied by those of the party Of JET
ferson and jackson have been adminis-
tered in way ample proven to the peo-
pie that economy and service are Civ
en- precedence by the democratic
party and the furtherance Of political
ambitions does not enter into the ad-
ministration of duties Of office by -
members.
i Let every man who believes in . gov
ernment Of the people and by the Pc
pie enlist in the fight and to thoss who
have stood by the party for ysazs =
times of its greatest darkness but w1sse
faith was abiding, feel that ~ poroe-
nal responsibility in IT, vieeoiy =
