Evening Republican, Volume 16, Number 84, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 6 April 1912 — A Republican. [ARTICLE]

A Republican.

A good republican is a man who thinks more of his country than he does of his party; more of his party than he does of all other parties combined; who will do his best to nominate good men for office, but will abide by the result of the primary; who will work harder to secure the united vote of the republican party than he will to line up for himself a few soreheads from other parties; who will content himself with being a good republican and not attempt to tear the house down that he may rebuild it to bis own peculiar liking; and who will admit that the wisdom of the many is very likely to exceed that of any individual.
