 Vote for State Officers.
 While the offices of Senator and Representatives in the Legislature are state offices, yet these are ,coun- tv contests, and of interest to the peo- ole more directly than any other ex- cept those at the court house.

In fact al bit of interest was injected into this race, but as the campaign was a newspaper scrap the voters were denied the thrill of oratorical phyrotechnics during the contest This race was close from the start, but the finals gave the nomination to MT. Elliott by the sroa1l majority of B votes.

 Lets All Be Democrats.
 A scrap among Democrats is a fami- W affair. and rather wholesome for the party, for when Democrats fight more Democrats are the result. The voters of the party of the people have thair family differences inside the rartv's primary. After that if we ore good Democrats we % to the rolls and vote for the nominee. A democrat has no business with pen cil when he casts his vote in the general election. Now that we have had our day in court. nerhaps our favorite was not nominated in every instance, but it is every mans duty to cast his vote for the man whom the majority has chosen as the stand ard bearer of the party. You cannot claim to be Democrat unless you are willing that the majority should rule. You vote the ticket straight. even should the pill be bitter dose. swallow it. You have already had your day.
