Turn Out :!

OuU dU UIlC ClCCUlOl NO ouCu OPPoA-
tunity for striking a death blow at
the horrible liquor traffic was ever
before offered to our people. The
que stion is presented aside from party
politics, and any man may vote his
sentiment upon this great moral ques-
ton without affecting his politics in
any way.
This is an important contest. 1t is
a conflict between the home and the
saloon; between morality and crime;
between righteousness and sin; a
square battle between those who labor
for the good of mankind and those
who scheme to destroy mankind. We
bo not believe any respectable man
be he Democrat or Republican-will
hesitate for a moment as to which
side he will choose
The liquor interest are alarmed at
the prospect They are using every
desperate means to defeat the Second
Proposition. They have little one
horse agents circulating their trashy
nonsense about among the voters.
The Liquor Dealers Association
have some two or three saloon and
| bawdy-house loafers at work for them
In this county. These have been
boasting that no Democrat shall vote
for the Second Proposition. They
care nothing for decency, for right,
for the good Of the Democratic party.
Their sole aim is to faithfully serve
their masters, the Liquor Dealers As
sociation. These fellows are of class
that no respectable Democrat would
for moment think Of associating
with, or recognizing as an equal. Can
these miserable loafers drag the hon.
est, upright, Christian Democrats Of
the county into the doggeries, and
compel them to bow to Satan and his
imps as masters? We think not.
The Democratic tickets in this
county will be printed with blanks
left after the titles of the amend
| ments. A local Democratic trickster
was boasting on the streets few days
ago that this was done on purpose to
keep Democrats from voting for the
Second Amendment. This same fell
low is going about trying to convince
Democrats that there is some trick
he knows no other way to get along
save by by trickery-in voting for it.
But we are thankful that all the
members Of the Democratic party are
not such low-down cattle as the three
or four professional liars who are Civ
ing their feeble efforts against the
Second Amendment.
Friends, it is our duty to turn out,
without regard to party ties, without
regard to personal differences, and
vote to- drive this curse, the grog-shop
out of the community. Let every
man-Democrat or Republican-see
that his ticket has upon it these
words: "Prohibition Of the Liquor
Traffic-YES." Let him put his bal
lot thus into the ballot box, and teach
the doggery and bawdy-house loafers
that they cannot lay hold of the intel
ligent, happy homes of Jackson Coun-
ty, and drag them down to a level
with themselves.
No such opportunity was ever
offered for effective temperance work.
Let US improve the opportunity, and
roll up a grand majority for the Sec
ond Amendment, which will fully
sustain the reputation our county al
ready enjoys for honesty, for culture,
for religion. If any man--Democrat
or Republiean-present you with q
ticket not having YES" after the IT,
tie Of the Second Amendment, drop
him at once. He's your enemy, and
would, at the bidding of his masters,
the Devil and the doggery-keepers,
drag your home and your family down
