Show DEMOCRATIC SCHEMING. j There Is amplo proof that the demo-, cratlo campaigners are favoring cci-tain cci-tain portions of their ticket. Itcpub-llcansover Itcpub-llcansover thecount have been asked to support llarber, I(a ball and Kvans, but seldom has one been asked to vote for any others on the democratic ticket. So far as llarber Is concerned, It Is generally conceded that he is the most popular man on the democratic ticket, hence the special eirort to elect him It Is felt that he has a fair lighting show. With Geo. O. IIaball, candidate for treasurer, It's a case of being the democratic demo-cratic county chairman's son, and then 'tlssald that both democratic banks In this city hope toglve the First National a good whack by electing some one whowlll deposit the county fu mis elsewhere else-where than with the government Institution. In-stitution. The democratic county chairman is a stockholder In one of the opposition banks and his son has been employed there as bookkeeper. Tho other bank doesn't hardly expect to come In on the "divy," but theic would bo some satisfaction In seeing the funds moved about a lttle. With Mr. Kvans, democracy's choice for shcrlir, It Is hoped that certain republican re-publican forces will be arraed against Sheriff Tom Smith, hence the extia effort In behalf of Mr. Kvans, Democracy Isn't wasting any of Its ammunition at present. The party leaders have picked out those on their ticket whom they think stand the best snow of being elected, and all effort Is baing ccnteied on these, to the great neglect of the remainder. ltepublicans should be on guard and refuse to be mesmcrled into supporting support-ing a dcmociat. Let no smooth cam- i paignei'it oily tongue lead anyicpub-llcau anyicpub-llcau to foiget the obligation he owes to ills party's nominees. Democratic campaigners can promise much, but their record shows that they aic seldom, sel-dom, If ever, able to ncllvcr the goods. Republicans will do well to support the lepubllean ticket fiom constable to state senator. Refuse to mak trades and scorn to sacrlllce any man on the ticket. You or some of vour friends may be on the ticket some day and certainly vou would expect the united support of republicans He true to vourself by being tine to jour! partv's nominees |
