Every true and reliable Democrat

labors for the last week of the cleo
tion, and on Monday and yesterday

this county and this Congressional
District have been forever redeemed,
regenersted ard disenthralled from

Gratis Of Shelby, OF tie Tenth Con-
gressioral District, you never had
greater incentive 10 duty than in this
canvass. The Issues are Of vital inn
poltance. De Tooqueville in bis book
on America says; "The nation will be
divided between two opinions-the one
tending to limit, the other to extend in
definitely The power of the people"
This is the distinctive dividing line be-
tween Republicans and Democrats.
The Republicans by their hatred Of
Foreigners, their prohibitory leanings,
their tendency to Capitalization and
monopoliee, seek to abridge Tho rights
and liberties of the people. The Dem
ocrate, on the other hand, by their
humanity, their love OF civil, religious
and personal liberty, their desire for
local self government, their advocacy
of equal rights for all, exclusive privi-
legesto none, show that their aim 10 to
perpetuate government ruled by the
people for the benefit OF the popular
masses instead OF the favored few.
The Democratic party is the peoples
party, and in all things, national,
State and coup'y politics, eympathises
with The masses. This Congressional
District is essentially Democratic, and
there is no excuse for disafleCtion, as
our own candidates are as pure in in
tegrity as the principles they rep
resent Bob Taylor, the Dem
ocratic nominee for Governor, has
made brilliant canvass. He has
had 70 factions to conCilia'e, more to
conquer Under his leadership the
party presents an unbroken front,
He has discussed the issues ably, and
to the surprise Of those who did not
know him, in a statesmanlike man
ner, There is no doubt es to his cleo
ton. The question is simply as TO his
majority, and the best informed Dem.
ocrats place it at 10000. 10
this Congressional District James
Phelan has made bright
record, earned the honors he
seeks by bravely battling for bis
party. Democrats, it only remains
for ~ to etand shoulder to shoulder to
secure his triumphant election. The
Dsmcclatic ticket for the Legislature
is composed If clean, honest and capa-
BILE men, They represent all the va.
Iiod interests OF the county,
and it would be impossible
TO select Il better or moro
acceptable ticket. With such ticket
representing such a party, a glorious
victory will be achieved on Tuesday il
Democratic voters will do their duty.
This they will do, judging from the
Indications rs developed during the
past two days. Democratic, let us
