It notes Cass county already has its ticket and Draxey county mocks the state scene as the “soup.” It questions the timing of the Republican county convention and mocks Democrats seeking a rival ticket after endorsing Hansbrough.

The piece argues the Tag State ticket is strong enough to deter a Democrat split, with Dickey county loyal to the Republican cause. It urges party members to prioritize state and national interests over personal ambitions and insists Republicans will vote for principle even if some candidates are not the personal favorites.
