Show The idea that a voter can pose as a Republican and then vote for a Democratic governor or president, presi-dent, is.a joke ; there's nothing to it. A man is either a Democrat or a Republican in the big fight that is coming in state and nation, and if a Republican talks for and votes for Democratic state and national candidates, can-didates, he should thereafter be recognized as a Democrat, Dem-ocrat, pure and simple. The National Republican party has no room in its menagerie for hybrids, whether with a bull-moose head and donkey body, or with a donkey head and elephant body. The Republican animal is all elephant ele-phant and its stall is built to hold it, alone. In county political matters, there is no issue such as is found in the state and national fights. This being be-ing the case, the obvious duty of the voters is to elect the best men, men who will best serve the whole county. If these men can be found on any one particular partic-ular ticket, all the better. As stated, the Republicans Republi-cans feel that they have a ticket which includes, at least in a large measure, men who can stand the acid test, and so far as voters can consistently support sup-port the Republican county ticket they will, by doing so, give strength to the state and national Republican- tickets. s |
