THE TICKET: VOTE 1T STRAIGHT

THE TICKET: VOTE 1T STRAIGHT
There has never been time in the
history OF this county when a finer
ticket was presented to the republi-
cans than Is the case this year From
Charles f. Hughes down to "Jonny'
Williams, there isn't a man on the
ballot that deserves to be cut
Republicans must not be misled and
gverconfdent There has been a lot
of wire pulling in an effort to continue
in Office the present democratic adj
ministration. These efforts have gone
so far as to compromise the national
honor in an effort to buy support for
Wilson en- bloc" The election is
going to be no walk away" which
ever side wins IL and the republicans
need every vote and every support
that they can muster to carry the ma
aional ticket through.
In the congressional elections there
is but little danger. Mr.. Townsend
and Mr.. James are sure OF return to
the legislative halls.
In state circles. Albert r. Sleeper
as the standard bearer OF the republi-
can state ticket has won the admira
tion OF everyone by his frankly stated
position on the wet" and dry" ques-
ton. His democratic opponent sought
20 put him az a disadvantage by es-
p0uslng the cause of the "drys" al
though his personal acts heretofore
show that his inclination IS naturally
wet Mr.. sleeper refused to be driy,
en- into placing his party on one side
or The other, recognizing that person
OF both views are included in The par
~ makeup. Tie countered by show
ing that personally he has been dry
and that his principles are moi for
campaign purposes
This action on the part OF Mr. |
Sleeper has won him much admiration
and has rebounded TO the detrlmont OF
Mr. Sweet his democratic opponent
The other candidates on the state
ticker are without exception able and
admirable men and will receive
very large majority in the state.
On the legislative ticket the name
of pat o'Brien. OF Iron River, Ap
pears for reelection TO the state leglA
lature lie has no opposition but that
is no reason why every voter should
not make a special effort TO give Pat"
a boost for he deserves IT, We haven't
agreed with pat" on everything but
Hhal is no reason why we can't con-
scientiously say that his record az
legislator Is an admirable one and one
deserving of commentator
Hon A. r. Roberts for state senator
Is another republican that deserves
your especial support for he has been
a great credit 10 this senatorial dis
trict and Is a man Of prominence and
influence In the state legislature.
Coming down to the county ticket
we want TO especially commend the
list Of men upon It to the voters. Mr..
Lott for Judge OF probate won out in
the primaries by a handsome MAORI
~. lie is an old resident and we can
see no reason why he shouldn't be
given every republican vote.
Robert Wilson for sheriff deserves
the united vote Of his party Mr.
Wilson went into the primaries and
won after hard fight He has been
n consistent worker and will make a
good Official. Give Bob" your vote
and you will not regret IL.
John Wall for clerk, Frank Ball for
treasurer, Martin McDonough for
prosecutor Alex b. Rogers for regis
ter Fred +. Murphy for commission
ar, Fred II. Mitchell for mine inspec-
tor. william X. DAWSON and George !
Hamilton for coroners and John Will
liams for surveyor are each and all |
good men and entitled to every vote.
Let's pull together and give one of
the old-tlme majorities for the repub-
Iican ticket this year in Iron county. !
