"When we meet and talk together
we find we are all alike in wanting
good government for Lincoln county.
That is what We are here to promote
and secure Every locality that goes
to make up the county is alike in this
desire With this terse statement
Chairman Kartzlze Republican State
Central Committeeman, opened the
meeting Seated around him were all
the executive officers of the two par
ties represented in the gathering,
Archie Bowler and E. W. Reeves. sec
retary and county chairman, respect
lively, also of the Republican organ
ization. and r. H. Trail, Paul S Had
dock and A. l. Mcmahon, who hold the
same offices for the ProgFessives.
There were two ministers of the gos-
pei also in the assemblage and one of
them, Rev. Mr.. Junckin, was called
upon to ask divine blessing upon the
deliberations. The presence of more

example. To him more than to any
other we feel is due the preservation
OF a government of the people. for the
people and by the people. Whatever
then be our political affiliation, wheth-
