Politics is a kind of necessary evil
we in our Republican form of
government and Democratic spirit I
are compelled to have ' parties;
but this does.not ; imply that we
should allow our party affiliations
to get over and above our- patrio
tism and religion. Every citizen
male and female now has the
rignt to go to tne poles ana ex
press his or her opinion on any
question affecting public good as
he or she may decide to be best.
wnen .tms act is periormea no
one. has any right to question or
impugn; the motive of , such indi-
vidual. The ballot is the most
sacred duty we owe to the county
ana to eacnotner. 1 so let us see
to it, that the coming election all
bitterness ; shall Cbe eliminated.
i And -especially as it will be the !
first election in which our. good
women ever participated. Let
