On next Tuesday will occur the de
cisive engagement Of this campaign .
The ''big-guns'' have been booming
away for some time and the lines are
all formed for the final engagements
when the small arms Will do the real
execution. 1t will be well for each one
70 think on the ''real issues of the day
and cast his vote accordingly. The
platform of principles Of each party has
been published from time to time,
therefore let US read them and decide
nationally which one We can stand on.
Let US remember that party principles
are set fourth in platforms For in
stance, the Republican party Of Phillips
county declare their firm and lasting
faith in the prOhibitOry amendment,
and propose, if the ''Old man" (the
Democrat &C. party will get ''Off the
carpet" TO make prohibition prohibit,
read the platform. On the other hand,
the democratic platform expressly ''de-
maEds its immediate repeal, " and the
third party acqulesces in their rotten
by standing one of its pedal
eZtremities on their platform.
They tell US that prohibition shows
open saloons where your boys were
formerly enticed TO spend their evenings
and where they learned TO look on the
wine, and fOfm bad habits that would
cling TO them all through life. Can you
ind them in any numbersP Is not this
one good resultP Would you have the
amendment repealed, or
would not it be better TO make it still
strongerP so, but, - say they ''Ws will
have high license. So high that there
cannot be many saloons and they will
be q source Of revenue" What sOphIs-
Try, Every one that mas observed the
saloon question knows that, no matter
how high the license may be, there are
still enough men Of low principle 10
carry on the business, aud the result is
the same. Revenue raised at the ex-
oense Of the bread and butter of the |
abOring mani wife and children, which, !
would not be quite as bad as |
another result which Is the ruin of
thousands Of the young men, and NO I
men too, of our country. Ask the /
aides OF our land if they would ike the /
amendment repealed. They |
know that the person who has formed /
4 taste for liquor will nave it regardless /
If cost, if the opportunity IS afforded /
hem. Revenus fUrs0Oth! Out on a |
country that would raise ''revenue" at !
he cost Of lives of children, and souls /
If men! Ont on a Temperance" eau /
iidate who viii stand on such plank /
Dut on a temperance man who will |
'Ote such a ticket. We do not say, /
who would vote for the men, but the |
principle set forth in such ticket.
Again we say, read the platforms, and /
ZEE which IS sOundest on r. r. legisla- |
ion and TEN perance, and after you |
nave read, take your ticket IN you hand |
and you will then vote inteligentIys |
whether you vote right or not. PED.
