Stale 0fHe WeSf9 This is now the
question for her embodied DEMOCRACY
TO answer. fthey will do their whole
duty, they will find it an easy task to
give the vote of the State to JAMES
4. POLK.
Ii, on the first day of November,
each county in the State will exhibit,
as compared with the late result, a
Democratic gain of Is votes, it will be
enough.
If each township in the State will en-
hibit a Democratic gain of but ONE.
vote, it will be enough.
Are there not many counties that can
give lis a gain of hundreds?
Are there notmany townships which
can give us a gain of ten of trenty, or.
even Of fifty votes?
We know that some, among Il po-
Litical opponents, entertain the foolish
fancy that their national ticket is strOn-
ger than their State tickets. This they
have pretended in Kentucky, in Mary
land, in North Carolina, in Indiana, in
Maine, and in Pennsylvania; and this
they now pre:ond III Ohio. But they
arc strangely and greatly mistaken.
They are not only blind to the signs
Of the times, but they forget the records
of the past.
Mr.. Clay has always been a weight
upon his party.
He was the lowest Of four candidates
in 1924.
His cause was identified with the
Adams administration, so disastrously
defeated in 1923.
He was the regular nominee of his
party, and got but 40 out of286 cleo
t0ral votes, in 1882.
In 1886, he dared not even seek to
be q candidate.
Inl840, 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 suppo-
sed, forever.
Now, in 1914, they have made him
their candidate, rather by necessity than
by choice, and the campaign, though
almost ended, his hitherto brought them
little else than disaster and defeat.
The solemn truth IS. that neither by
his personal character, nor Ey his past
conduct, nor by his present anti-Amer-
lean associations, nor by the principles
which he now ayows, has HENRY Clay
any claim upon the sufirages Of the A
movican people.
The Democracy of Ohio have not
only all these things to encourage them
to be active, yigilant, and united, in the
approaching contest, but they have al
so the cheering remembrance Of what
they, themselves, have once done, be-
forc.
I'm 1923, the anti-Jackson candidate
for Governor, in this State. succeeded
at the October election, by 1000 ma
jority. Our true hearted Democracy
were not dismayed. They still bore a.
Loft their time honored banner, and rail-
lying around it with the unconquera-
BILE energy Of true patriotism, at the
November election, they gave to the
brave Old Chicfof the Hermitage, ~
proud majority ofnear 5000 votes.
Yes, fellow Democrats, that which
has been done once, may be done "a
gain. Let us remember too, that if we
do that for Jams K. POLL, now, which
we did for Andre3D Jackson in 1928.
Andrcw JGcEsOnis still alive to thank
us for it, and to rejoice with us in a VIC
tory, which will be no less a source of
gladness to him, than to ourselves.
rs Here a man iw the Democratic
who, in view of all these facts,
will relax, for one moment, those ex-
ertions which are due to the Domoc. at
ic cause? NO: we trust there is not
one so forgetful of the obligations of a
true man. We will, each one of us,
do what we may and all wjU be nell
with us, and with the REPUBLIC.
