DELAYED SCANDAL.
We know whereof we affirm in declaring
that a false and despicable effort will be
made to decrease u vote by the publica-
ton Of most malicious falsehoods, reflect
ing upon tie honor and integrity of a dead
leader of the Prohibition party. This mat
ter is already in the form of clectrotype
plates and will be issued in one OF two
ways, either through the columns of mum
erous papers q few days before the election
or, what is quite as likely, in circular form
secretly aud thoroughly scattered in all
parts of the country, only to sec the light
of day by being distributed at the polling
places on November 6.
Be not deceived. II tlose wicked state
ments we're trae they. would have been
given to the public long ago. Remember
thai eleventh hour scandals are evidence
OF their untruthfulness. We call not
only upon Prohibitionists but upon honest
men and lovers or fair play in politics to
repudiate and rebuke such ghoulish and
barbarous political warfare. Roorbacks
will abound during the forty-eight hours
preceding the election. Let every Prohibi-
zionist stand by the guns remembering that
he can support his party with the utmost
confidence that all its work will bear the
closest scrutiny.
FRAUDULENT BALLOTS.
Look outf for fraudulent Prohibition bal
lots containing conspicuously displayed at
the head something that would indicate an
honest Prohibition ticket, but bearing the
names of persons not the nominees of our
party. The trick is under way and will
no doubt be tried in many voting precincts.
THE COUNT.
We have reliable information from the
most unquestIonable sources that a sys-
tematic effort is to be made to miscount
the Prohibition vote and appropriate it to
the support of other candidates. We can
not go into details in this matter, MOI eau
we too urgently press upon the attention
of Prohibitionists 20 sec to it that our
rights are not violated. Insist everywhere
upon representatives of our party being
present to watch the count and see to it
that the state and national headquarters
are promptly notified of the result.
REWARD.
The National Committee will pay 500
reward for evidence leading to the con
viction OF any member of any election
board who shall be guilty of %miscounting
or fraudulentlY returning the Prohibition
vote.
BRIBERY.
Money in vast quantities is to be scat
tered over the country, notably in the So
called doubtful states, and every dishonest
voter willing to sell his support Will find a
dishonest purchaser ready to buy.
We urge our leading workers in every
state to offer rewards of $25 for such evil
dence as VIII lead to the conviction of any
man for either buying or selling his vote.
IN CONCLUSION.
1t is impossible for us to anticipate all
the efforts that will be made at the last
hour to deceive and defraud. We feel,
however, that We can trust the intelligence,
integrity and courage of the rank and file
of the Prohibition party. Il is our bust
ness, our aim and our purpose to roll up
the largest possible vote for our candidates.
With confidence in the righteousness of
our cause and a firm faith that it win ulti-
mately triumph, let us march b~rayely to
the ballot box on November 9Th, and record
our united protest against the domination
of the saloon in American politics.
Yours truly,
SAMUEL DICKIE, Chairman 3.
Prohibition National Committee.
