CONTESTANTS, READ THIS!
Every facility will be afforded con-
testants for getting their votes and
subscriptions into The Republican Of

teaches that it is unwise to wait until
the last moment. In spite of all the
warnings, there are certain to be some
of the candidates who will put off get
ting their votes into the office until
the very last moment, and we again
warn these that the last possible mo
ment should be time to provide lee
way for accidents.
And now the stage is set and every
thing is in readiness for the finish. The
end IS in the hands of the candidates
and their friends. Persons who have
