Pennsylvania, too, has spuksn, and that
in manner worthy the Stale which has
been aptly called the Key stone Of the
Arch Size voted for Harrison in 1910,
but now, in sple of despairing Whiggery
and Native America combined, she
announces 10 US a Democratic msioriiy Of
5 900, which assures her 26 Electoral
votes for POLK and DALLAS, with ab.
SOluie certainty.
These signs are not 10 be mistaken, g.
the late result in Ohio does but add TO
their force.
Every where, in the East and in the
West, in the North and in the South, the
current ofpSpulaT opinion has been pre-.
c;Sel the same. Future results are made
known 10 US by the past That Virginia
will stand where she stood in 1910, and
that New York will follow the examples
of Maine and Pennsylvania, can no lon.
ger admit OF shadow Of a doubt.
What shall be done with the Empire

question for the embodied Democracy 10
answer. Ifthey will do their whole du-
ty, they will find it an easy task to give
lbe vote OF the State 10 JAMES K.
POLK.
If, on Ihs 6rt day Of November, each
county in the State will exhibit, as com.
Paled with the late result a Democratic
gain OF l5 votes, it will be enough.
1t each township in the State will Cx>
hibit a Democratic gaia Of but ONE vote,

Are there not many townships which

We know that some, among our politl,
cal opponents, entertain lhe foolish fancy
thai their national ticket is stronger than
their State tickets. This they have pre-.
tended id Ken;ucky,in Maryland, in North
Carolina, in Indiana, in Maine, and in
Pennsylvania; and this they now pretend
IN Ohio. But they are strangely and
greatly mistaken. They ale not only
blind 10 the Signs Of the times, but They
forget the records Of the past
Mr.. Clay has always been weight up.
on his party.
lie was the lowest of four candidates
in 1924.
His cause was identified with tho Ad,
ans administrations dsa strousIy defeat
cd IN 1928.
He was the regular nominee of his par
ty, and got but 40 out of 2S6 electoral
votes, in 1882.
In 1896, he dared not even seek 10 be
candidate.
In l64O, he sought nomination from
his party, and lost it. These very men
who now uphold him, only four years ago,
condemned him as unavailable, and cast
him aside, as was then supposed, forev
or.
Now, in 1914, they have made him their
candidate, rather by necessity than by
choice, and the campaign, though almost
ended. has hitherto brought them little
else than disaster and defeat.
The solemn truth is, that neither BY his
personal character, nor by his past con
Ouct, nor by his present anti American
associations, nor by the principles which
he now avows, has Henry Clay any claim
upon the Suffrages of the American pco'
pie.
The Democracy of Ohio bave not only
all these things 10 encourage them 10 be
active, vlgllani, and united, in the ape
preaching contest, but they have also the
, cheering rene IHbIance OF what they,
themselves, have once done, before,
In 1928, the anti. Jackson candidate for
Governor, in this State, succeeded al The
October election, by 1000 majority. Our
, true heartedDemocrncy were not dismay'
ed. They still bore aIOll their,irne houored
4, hamper. and rallying round it with the un.
conqusrabis energy of true patriotism, ct
the November election, lEcy gave TO the
brave old Chief Of the Hermitage, a
proud majority of near 5000 votes.
Yes, fellow Democrats, that which has
been done once, may be done again. Let
us remember too, TINT if We do that for
James X. Polk, now which we did for
AndrewJackson in 1925, Andrew Jackson
is still alive to thank US for il, and to res
ioice with us in victory, which will be no
less a source Of gIadness to him, than TO
ourselves.
Is there man in the Democratic ranks,
who in view Of all these facts, will relax
for one moment these eXsrtioDs which are
due TO the Democratic causeP NO: we
trust there is not one so fOrgetiul Of the
obligations of a true man. We will, each
oae of US, do what we may, and all will
be we'll with us, ami with the REPUn"
