To vote a straight Republican ticket make a X within the circle which surrounds the eagle, as the one above is marked. Make no other mark on your ticket. Any other mark than the X will spoil your ballot and will lose your vote. Use nothing to mark the X but the blue pencil that will be given you by the poll clerk. Should you by accident make any other mark on your ballot, return it to poll clerk and get a new one. Before leaving booth fold your ballot so that the face cannot be seen, and so that the initial of the poll clerk on the back can be seen. DON’T BE A STAY-AT-HOME. BE SURE AND GET OUT TO VOTE.

The attempted disguise of the Democratic tariff fight, by coating it With auti-trust talk, does not fool very many. ' England has poor crops this year, but we can spare her a shoat or two and a few roasting ears. A Chicago paper reported that a young man fired a bullet at the foot of Columbia avenue. This almosts amounts to an insult to Liberty. Why do not the Democrats take np the issue? i European journals have been thrown into violent hysterics over Mr. Roosevelt’s speeches, wherein he announced our determination not to allow interference by a European power in the affairs of our smaller neighbors. It was simply a reaffirmation of the Monroe Doctrine, but in unmistakable terms. The trouble with our Old World contemporaries is the realization of their utter helplessness. Knowing that when it comes to a question of a foreign foe Americans sink partizanship in patriatism, the utter futility of any protests is apparent.

“When I was a candidate for sheriff several years ago,” said a Republican from one of the north townships the other day, “the Republicans of my township elected the delegates by precincts in the regular way and I had to take my chances with other candidates for the same office. However, when I visited this (Grant) township I found that the good Republicans over here had allowed their candidate to name his own delegates, and of course I, nor any other candidate for sheriff, steod the least particle of show to get a delegate. But I didn’t hear any protests from members of the county central committee about it. The Kentland Enterprise didn’t bolt part of the ticket, and I didn’t hear of any attempt to fix the board of election commissioners to keep your man’s name off the ticket. On the other hand he was elected, just as Mr. Hanley will be elected for judge. A man with such backing at home can’t be defeated through mere sympathy for the ruffled dignity (?) of a few politi-’ cians with axes to grind.’’^—Goodland Herald. Newton county politics presents the sublime spectacle of the Republican county “official organ’’ and a few of the central committee working tooth and nail to defeat part of the Republican ticket. The condition would be amusing if it wasn’t] so pitifully ridiculous.—Goodland Herald. Don’t forget fora moment that there are plenty of loyal Republicans—leaders, too, —in Jefferson township who are earnest supporters of Hanley.—Goodland Herald.
