Merchants with no more business and po-
litical acumen than to suppose that

the unwashed Democracy deserve lesson
and will get little sympathy.
We overheard conversation by some OF

going to give the Democratic boys tho
preference. But alter the election III
take the Republican boys"

The Prohibition vote is the last reliance
of the Free Whskey Liquor League De-
mocracy. The Democratic campaign Will
be made to increase the third party vote,
and wherever possible Democratic money
and Democratic effort will be expended to
aid the Fiske-Brooks third party ticket
Every sensible man in Virginia knows
that vote for the third party is vote
almost directly against temperance re-
form, and for the freest possible free
whiskey. Every candid man in Virginia
knows that the Democratic party has
been the consistent friend of the liquor
men and saloons. Every candid man in
Virginia knows that the present contest
| il between the free whiskey Democracy
and the Republican party-a party who
has taken every step all over the country
in restrictive liquor legislation that has
been taken. Whether they wonld have 1t
so or not every candid man knows that
the issue will be between these two par
ties. and if he has hitherto been Repub-
hcan. and has voted with the Republi-
cans. 70 now vote a third party ticket
must of necessity contribute to the posi-
BILE success Of Democracy. These are plain
unvarnished facts, nd no temperance al
lance Of this county or any other can eX-
plain them away. The facts will still re-
man. What honorable, upright, candid,
houqhtfui temperance or Chriitidn man can
vote this year so as to give weight of his
moral and political influence to the party
that has consiste ntly and persistontly OPP
posed all restrictive temperance legisla-
ton. and has consistently and persistent
w been the friend and defender OF the
whlskey men and liquor league in Kansas.
Iowa. Pennsylvania, Indiana, New York
and all other States where the question
has ever been agitated. II our temper
ance alliance friends will only read up
the records they will find that we have
spoken correctly.
