oe a safe thing for the country TO
leave the election OF next Tuesday
entirely IN the hands Of this assembly. The

consented to such. an. arranRemcnt, and we
should save much time. and expense, and

that all Ut you know which way you are
g0ing TO vote, and you will vote that way

We want to show the Solid South that every
citizen Of one Of our States Is 4 citizen of the
United States, and can carry his citizenship
and political sentiments with him wherever
lie chooses to go. We believe in
4 TARIFF WHICH PROTECTS
the manufacturer, and therefore protects and
pays labor. We believe that there should be
no conflict between capital ,lld labor, What
benefits one also benefits the other, and any
thing that strikes down capital strikes down
labor. Wy cannot all be employers. we do not
believe that we can compete with foreign
manufacturers unless VIC have a protective
tariff. An oppos1t policy would reduce the
price OF labor, and we do not want to see
that done. lApplause1 Ineed hardly dwell
