Vote for men Who endorse good phn'
eiples, not for those who endorse mere
rubblshl You can demand Of the Ma
tlonal party good government because
they aro pledged 10 ilin their platform
Yon can't ask the union men anything
because they have promised nothing.
Ifyou are in favor Of labor, and want
to work your farm without having a
Law passed driving your laborcrs out OF
the country. vote the National ticket.
For heavens sake, compare the two
platforms and ask your soul how you
eau support the Union parlyl
The Union intelligent candidates are
denying their own platform nov, he
cause they are ashamed 10 defend u.
They have had six weeks In which 10
publish denial and they are silent.
You are not Obliged by good faith TO
support the Union party, simply be-
cause you were once a Downing man or
Ross man. lfyou do you are simply
lending your vote TO an oilice-feeking
coalition. ON what principles did these
two factions unlteY On none, except
that together they had a majority and
could divide the offices. What did
they promise the Cherokee peoplel
Nothing, except that the Ross faction
should have half the offices and the
Downing faction the other half How
did the game work? Why, the Ross
outfit was twice as smart as the Down
ing outfit, and generated them ont OF
two-thirds of the offices. 1t is all
right now, however, as the factions are
dividing fairly. Vote foryour Simon's,
boys, aud put 'em in office, they have
got to makea living somehow.
There are some good men in the
Union party but they are behind the
times, and not in good company.
When such men as Rev. Walter A.
Duncan, d. VIC. Duncan, Joel Bryan,
sc. leave the Downing party, you may
be sure the old ship has foundered.
If Bill Penn Adair were alive there
would be some sense in voting the
Downing ticket, boys.
Oh, you little simon's and lesser vas
sails, vote for S. Houston Benge for Pnn-
cipal Chief. 'Rah for ole Cah-com-mah.
1t is true, be says, 0o-tsa-la-tah is
blind and don't understand English,
but the boys will tell him what's going
on and what to do. 'Rah for 0o.tsa-
la-tah.
As Hon. D. W. Rushyhcad said four
years ago "Thc time is past when one
man or set of men can rule this Nation
unquestioned by the increasing intelli-
gencc Of the people"
Ifyou Delawarcs and shawnecs ey-
poet Bushyhead to secure for you your
rights, give him council that will not
pull against him. Elect National men.
Marina Daniels andIohn Schrimsher
are simply going to he elected, on Mon
day. They are good, true men, and en-
dorse progress and development, in
stead Of the gee-string and breech-
clout.
Every advancement consistent with
public safety is on the banner Of the
National party.
ave swear we will support each
other" is on the banner of the Union
party; "as assembled round the fire
smoking their tobacco"
Read those pieces on Union, National
and National and Umon. You will see
the real inwardness Of the whole busi.
ness.
Don't abuse your neighbors, National
men nor lie on individuals of the
Union party, they have too heavy a
load to carry, and lots ofthem honestly
think they are doing their duty.
Union men don't lie on the National
candidates, the era for political lying
is playing out.
