Because, in 1920, he opposed The admission
Of Missouri into the Union unless she would pro

come his greatest sycophant and iatterer--was
for and against Clinton, Madison and the war,
and is, emphatically, all things to all men.
and because, whilst pretending TO be opposed
TO the protective system, the tariff act Of 1926
termed by the South, the "bill Of Nominations"
This reason naturally leads us into the second
division ofthe subject and we shall now proceed
to Show why it is that he is unworthy of the
support of the South and especially Of state
rights men.
Because, in 1885, he distinctly avowed the
right of congress to abolish slavery in the Dis
irlct of Columbia.

ain anti-repubicans--and drawing an invidu.
'us distinction between the rich and the poor,
opposed the right of universal suffrage.
Because, he is the candidate Of party whose
MOTTO is, $50 the vctors belong the spoils;" -
md who in acting out their principles, have
He'd the public offices with host Of Gathless

laton is, blind and reckless devotion TO their
masters.

ootsteps" of jackson, who trampIed in the dust
every safeguard Of the constitution.
And tasty Because, the failure Of every
eading measure of the administration plainly
vinces the fact, that he is utterly incompetent
o discharge the duties OF the responsible station
which he occupies.
