Now Seems Certain

Ever since the last election tn,
citizens Of the whole county have
been crying FOR less politics in gov.
ernment and business along with
common sense in government. The
over-increasing burden of taxation is
laid at the doors Of professional
politicinns, professional. office hold.
crs and party machine" men who

affairs, have increased all expenses
Of government.
The reaction against this sort Of
thing has in the last few months re-
suited in the nomination Of men Of
a different type. in other language
men who will and have interested

lieved. by pnst performances. that
they will do their utmost to help
Mr.. Citizen and Tnxpeyer out Of
their difficulties. This is especially

Coming close to home. we study
the condition Of party affairs in JEFF
fcrson county and the men who re-
present the parties in the present
crmpaign. The Republican party
has nominated n ticket composed of
men who arc of the. old order, who
