TRY WHICH PROTECTS YOU.
Just at this time we are in the
no-t critical period of the history of
the World's War. All of the
Americans, irrespective of party
should be Loyal to their country,
and require that in the settlement of
the peace terms, that the element
which has caused the discord, shall
he made to "Fnconditional Sur
render", that a peace shall be made,
only when it guarantees the safety
which have been put forth, for the
censumation of the end of justice,
for all the peoples of the world.
I also desire to extend my thanks
to all who have been in their friend
ship, in any way instrumental in the
furthering of my candidacy, to the
position of county judge, for what
they have done, for what they are
doing, and what they shall do. In
this connection I wish to say, I do
