and their re-statement, 10 refresh the
remories of the voters is all that is ne
cessary to jus; and proper decision.-
However efforts are being made by the
leaders Of the Locofoco party to create
neg0lssues, the contest Is still for princi-
pie. Nor can the people be SO easily de-
ceived as those leaders perhaps suppose.
The famous "Kane Letter" OF 1914 is
yet fresh in their memory, and they will
rot permit themselves to be gulled Sc
cond time. The contest is not for men;
il IS SIMPLY one between the two politi-
al parties. in which one or the other
must necessarily gain the ascendencv.-
The Wings desire to limit the Executive
Offices to one tertn-to curiail the expen-
,llures in the administration of Govern
ment. State and Nalional-to protect our
home industry against the capital of Eu-
rope, which has been brought ia compeli
ton with it-and to have the public lands
distributed among the States, for the ben
cit of the People. The Locofocos ap-
pose all these measures They goto con-
tinue men in Office as long as the consli-
tuton allows them-they support their
ofIice holders, though aware that they are
squandering the peoples moneys-they
Try to break down eur mechanics and ma

pie understand, and they will decide upon

TO the person to whom it purPorts to have

d FORGERY; and that it is so, is evident
from the fact that no election was pen
