These are the prlncl pies that Democracy stands for. These are the things that constitute the rea sons for the faith that Is In us—the reasons why ws are Democrats. To us they seem reasons sufficient for the election next Tuesday of a full Demo cratic ticket, and we believe that thle will he done by an overwhelming ma jority.” Its position is all the more significant when It Is known that this county la about the only one In the state which has a full ticket in the Held by the Re publicans for all the county and stBte offices and a Republican candidate for congress In tho Seventh district oppos Ing the Democratic nominee.
