foot to send former President

The republican managers
in Indiana have determined to
select delegates to the nation-
al convention early in Febiu-
ary and thus break all prece-
dents in respect to .such sel-
ections. The object is to
place Mr. Fairbanks conspic-

Indiana's candidate. As soon
as Indiana has taken official
action there will be a con-
certed movement of the Fair-
bank's forces on other states.
In giving your patronage
}o your local paper you are
helping to add to tnc value of
your property and to build
up in every way the city and
countrv. The local paper is
the mirror in which others
sic the locality and they are
impressed in proportion to the
substantial appearance of the
home paper. The more lib-
eral the home patronage the
more certain the observer will
be favorably impressed with
the people it repievents. 'J'his
fact is so well understood in
Northwest and even in West
Texas that property holders
contribute large money to the
support of the locrl pap' r
whether they have anythin
time for good investments.:
