Our Ticket!

The Democratic county ticket is
in every way worthy of the support
of the honest voters of Preble county.
It is composed of excellent material,
are all well and favorably known 20
most of the voters, and their qualifi-
cations for the offices which has
sought them without brides or cor
ruption, are beyond doubt. No Boss
cs have any n Of them in charge,
no ring rules them. Their records
sre all clean and their nominations
were made without any dishonorable
or "kuklux" methods. Vote for
every one of them.

Voters.

There is nc candidate on the Dem
~ocratic county ticket who is not hon.
est and capable. They all secured
their nominations without the use oil
n dime of money for bribery pur,
poses. There was no "kukluxing' Of
their opponents. Nc Bosses run the
machine for the benefit of their ia.
vorites. They deserve the vote OF
every honest and independent voter
in the county.
The Eaton Democrat. (Eaton, Ohio) 1875-1903, 1883-10-04

In voting On the constitutional
amendments, if you want to place
the liquor traffic under the control of
the Legislature to do as it pleases
~ith the business, you will vote for
the first proposition. If you want
prohibition, plain and simple, vote
for the second proposition. If you
don't know what you want, vote for
both. Ifyou are opposed to both,
don't vote on either proposition. For
either to become a part of the con
stitution it is necessary forit to have
a majority of all the votes cast at the
election, and not to vote for either
is equivalent to q vote against both.

The Miami Leader asks: Who
reduced the State levy in 1873 three
tenths mills on the dollar? A Den
ocratic Legislature.
Who reduced the levy in 1875
another tenth of a mill on the dol
lar! A Democratic Legislature.
Who reduced the levy again in
1879 two-tenth more mills on the
dollar? A Democratic Legislature.
Who last increased the State levy
adding sixteenth mills on the dollar?
A Republican Legislature in 1873.
Has any Republican Legislature
since 1873 when they increased the
tax as stated)-and there has been
three such Legislatures since that
time-reduced the taxes, or tighten
ed the burdens of tax payers! Not
a single penny. Examined the acts Of
the General Assembly and you will
find that the only reduction of taxes
for State purposes in Ohio since 1871
has been made by Democratic Legis-
latures.

Pay no attention to the Registers
report that there is trading of candi-
dates going on. 1t is al Eosh. 1t
gets out the same story every year,
and only to draw attention from some
not very honorable business of its
own candidates. Again we say, pay
no attention to the report. 1t Is not
true!
The Eaton Democrat. (Eaton, Ohio) 1875-1903, 1883-10-04

If the Republican Bosses had their
county ticket to do over again, they
would make a change of at least two
candidates on it. They didn't want
Mikesell to run for the second term
for Auditor, because they said he
would be beat, and the methods used
to get Ortt on don't so down as
easily Is they expected. The kick.
ing amoLg the honest portion Of
their party is still vigorous, and
neither threats nor promises seem tc
stop it. Down with the Bosses.

Because Mr., Rhea refused to ac-
cept the promise of the Bosses of
anything he wanted in the future
if he would step aside and not OPP
pose Mr.. Ortt in convention, he was
''kukluxcd." The Bosses were de-
termined to rule or ruin to get their
favorite pet on the ticket. The Boss
es ought to go!
The Eaton Democrat. (Eaton, Ohio) 1875-1903, 1883-10-04

Goodness gracious! How the Re-
publican candidates and Bosses are
twisting and turning and spending
money, to keep in power! They are
scared almost to desperation for fear
the honest voters will rebuke their
venaiity and corruption by eleeting
a few Democrats instead oftheir pets
and slate selections of. two years
standing. Down with the Bosses.
The Eaton Democrat. (Eaton, Ohio) 1875-1903, 1883-10-04

Mr.. Ortt did use the Township
funds for his own personal benefit
while Treasurer, and borrowed $500
to make up the deficit when he went
out, He told it himself, and there is
no use to lie about it low! Our in
formant "sticks TO it" and says he
knoUS!!

Believe no report put in cir
culation upon the eve Of the
election against any candi-
date. It is only for the pur-
pose of deceiving you. Vote
that the Bosses must go!

Hi. Robbins was a faithful soldier
in the Union army during the war
and was wounded at the battle Of
Kenasaw Mountain. He deserves
the vote of every soldier in the
county.

AS MI. Rhea refused the promise
of the small Boss" of "any thing lie
wanted" provided he woulG not OPP
pose Mr.. Orts for the Treasuryship,
who is on the slate for the next Re
publican County Convention? No
Ring, Ell?

Mr.. Sheppard is in favor of trans
ferring the dog tax of Preble county
to the Agricultural Society. He had
a bill prepared for that purpose last
winter, but was persuaded by the
Darke County member, Hon. Charles
Negley, not to offerit it! Sheep raisers
in Preble county should remember
this fact when voting for a Repre-
sentative!

Are not farmers who grow wool as
much entitled to Government favors
as those who manufacture the wool
into fabrics? Ifnot, why not? Why
should the manufacturers of wool
have three or four times the "pro-
lection" of the farmers who grow the
Wool2

The Bosses offered Mr.. Rhea
anything he wanted" if he would
wait and not oppose Ortt. He
wouldn't tumble! He was "kuklux-
ed" for Ortt's benefit and now he is
read out of his party! How do other
honest Republicans like such Boss
imperialism?

If the people would change the
political complexion of their officials
every four years, corruption would
not prevail nor Bossism exist. Let
the voters decide at the ballot-box
that the Eaton Bosses must go!
