" - ; The party Is peculiarly fortunate in having such a splendid array of talent from which to select the candidates, and there is no chance for a mistake. But men wiU'thav their, preferences and at the primaries Is the place to express them.. All good Democrats will; of course, strive to have bis choice nominated,' but falling In this, will support the nominee, and to avoid having to vote for one other than one' choice one should go to the pri maries and aid in nominating that ChoiCe. ; , ' There are over 2,000 Democrats in the county and every one, where pos sible, should attend the primaries.
