Enthusiastically received and made tel

home 10 the people the fact that the in
terests of the people as a whole would
be best served by the election of the
Republican ticket. The deficiencies in
the present State democratic admins

leave no doubt In the minds of the
voters that their only hope for better
conditions, lies in turning over the
reins of the State government to the
Republican party.
All of the local candidates we're
present and were given a warm well
