Our Aim in Business
X &
YjB D2cIRE to make the First
National the Bank of the
People. The small depositor re-

ment and consideration that is ex-
tended to the largest within the
limits of safe and conservative
banking. Officers give personal
attention to all details. Directors
meet regularly and frequently and
keep closely in touch with the
current business. Every safe-
guard known t f. and successful
banking is avaiku. of and our past
success is the best criterion by
which to judge the security of the
future.

BOSTON'S BLANK BALLOTS.

in other states because it compels

favors "split ticket" voting. It has
Another curious quality the num

Parker for president had 10609
plurality in Boston but about 6000
Ballots cast were not marked for
this office at all. Douglas' plurality
was 33j078 in the largest vote cast
Pbut even for governor there were

crnor there were 9767 blanks for
secretary of state 13776 and so on
in generally increasing ratio until
23256 blanks out of a total vote of
only 96634 testified that 24 per oent
of the voters didn t caro a pencil
mark who was to bo sheriff.
Evidently the Boston problem is
not to got the voters to the polls
but to make them take the trouble
to vote right through the "bill of
