guarded and strengthened Attention
should not be directed alone to the large
meetings. They are indispensable and Of
great service. They should be encouraged

majority waB against him-as earnestly as
ifan depended upon his own individual
OIertion. Every loyal man must do his
duty. BE owes it to himself and his coun-
try. Every loyal vote must go into the
ballot box. Every voter owes SO much to
the life of the nation, now SO ruthlessly as
