FRIDAY. APRIL ), 1910

there are not so many days left
until the voters has his final say.
Both Democrats and Republi-
cans have about the best string
of candidates for nomination
possible to round up - men of
unquestioned qualification for
the various posts sought.
This primary and general
election in the fall will be the
most important in our history
and we urge that EVERYONE
qualified to vote do so without
regard to his or her party atfilia-
tons and to vote as he or she
pleases according to personal
convictions, for if we all do just
that Americas future is safe.
