Primary Election, Tues., May 16,'16 H (Politicai Adv.) The Congressional Contest The conteat in this district for the Republican nomination for Congress is void of any hip-hip-hurrah busi ness, the campaign assuming an at titude of quiet, cairn judgment. And the situation should be of that nat ure. Fair mioded voters are always willing that a representatire who has served his government as well ss his constituents with loyalty to them 9hould be given another term. S. Taylor North's usefulness to the State and this district when he was a mem ber of the Legislature is recognized as being of sound judgment, and already his service as aCongressman has provento one and ali that Mr. North stands firm on the principals that make for good government and j a free and happy nation. Mr. North's unquestioned loyalty to his party has never misled him !nto an unpatriotic attitude, and only recently he gave fresh evidence of his breadth of mind by supporting the President on an important in ternational question. Every sane man knows that it is the heighth of folly to elect a new manto Congress every tinie one is to be elected, and in this district the leaders as well as the masses have always advocated sending a man at least twice to Congress. When that is the rule it is only fair that ali should be treated alike, and when the district has a useful man m Congress it is only just that he should be given the second teim. None questions Mr. North's loyalty to his party, and none questions the eamestness aad s nceritv ia his stand for the enactment of laws that are for the best interests of the country. Ali that is asked for is an honeßt and wholesome consideration of Mr. North's record in ihe State < Legislature, and what he might be i able to accomplish for us in Congress i through his past experience and abil- 1 ity in legislature affaire. In times likethese, when warclouds threaten and the very foundations of j earth tremble with the thunders of almost world-wide conflict it is well for our government to have good, practical, commonsense men at Wash ington, and when our representative understands that situation and knows the country's needs,it would be un wise to make a chance.
