"Harrison's majority in the Electoral |
College will not be less than 100.
Make our friends in each precinct |
wake up to the fact that only Doodle and |
fraudulent voters and false counting OF
returns can beat us in the State. Write |
to each OF our precinct correspondents
EXPIICIT DIRECTIONS.
"First-To find out who has Demo
cratic Doodle, and steer the Democratic
voters to them and make them pay big
prices for their own men.
"Second-Scan the election officers
closely, and make sure to have no Re-
publicans on the Board whoee integrity
is even questionable, and insist on Re-
publican watching every movement Of
the election officers.
"Third-See that our workers know
every voter entitled 10 vote, and let no
one else even offer to vote.
'Fourth-Dividet the fioaters into blocks
OF i've, and put a trusted man with the
necessary funds in charge Of the funds,
and make him responsible that none get
away, and that all vote our ticket.
"flfth-Make personal appeal to
your best business men to pledge them
selves to devote the entire day Of Novem-
Der 9th to work at the polls, that is, to be
present at the polls with tickets. They
will be astonished to see how utterly dunn
founded the ordinary Democratic elec-
ton hummer will be and how quickly he
will disappear. The result will Justify the
| sacrifice of time and comfort and will be
a source of satisfaction afterward to those
who help in this way. Lay great stress
on this last matter. 1t will pay.
THE DOODLE ON HAND.
"There will be no doubt of your re.
ceiving the necessary assistance through
the National, State and County Com
mittees. Only see that it is husbanded
and made to produce results. I rely on
you to advise your precinct correspon-
dents and urge them to unremitting and
constant efforts from now till the polls
close and the result is announced Off
cially. We will fight for fair election
here if necessary. Tie rebel crew can't
steal this election from us without some
one getting hurt. Let every Republican
do his whole duty and the country will
pass into Republican hands never to
leave it, trust.
| Thanking you again for your efforts
to assist me in my work, / remain yours,
sincerely, w. w. DUDLEY.
"Please wire me the result in the prin.
cipal precincts and county" - Ed

| CHAIRMAN JEwETr's STATEMENT.
| At late hour an Associated Press cor.
respondent found Chairman Jewett al
his hotel and showed him Chairman
Huston's statement. Mr.. Jewett talked
freely about the proposed agreement sub.
mitted by Chairman Huston, and gave
his reasons for not signing the same. Al
the suggestion of the correspondent, he
sat down and wrote the following state
ment:
There are many reasons why the ar.
rangements should not be made, and one
very good one why it would be entirely
futile.
First. The agreement would be inca.
pable of ful6llment for the reason that il
would be impossible to get the bands,
distribute them and have the fact thai
they were to be used thoroughly under.
stood at this late day.
Second. The law Of the State prohibits
the placing of any distinguishing mark
upon ballots, and these might be con.
strued as distinguishing marks, especially
If OF different sizes or variously placed
upon the ticket; nor could any voter OF
inspector be compelled to observe the
regulation.
Third. 1t would be an innovation TO,
the reason that such practice never has
been pursued, so far as / know, in this
| State.
Fourth. The right given the inspec.
tor to manipulate the ballot while put
ting on the band would give an oppor-
tunity for fraudulently changing the bal.
lot or inserting an additional ticket in
each one, and thereby preventing the
counting Of the other ticket.
Fifth. The agreement could not au-
thorize an election board to reject a legal
ballot found in the box without band.
| Sixth. 1t has been reported to US for
some days that persons who are strang-
ers in the communities where they have
been seen, have been travelling over the
State, having no known business, but
who have visited the Republican Elec-
ton Inspectors Committees, and no one
else. We entertain real apprehension
that they have been instructing such
as are corrupt enough to engage in such
work, how to substitute tickets, stuff
boxes and commit other ballot-box
deviltry. The statement by Mr.. Hus-
ton as to ironing tickets, voting tickets
double and all that sort of thing is, in
slang, "a chestnut"
Democrats and the better class of
people generally. always regarded these
statements as merely intended to in
struct Republicans how to commit these
crimes, and as an implied request to go
ahead and commit them. ANY state
ment that the Democratic organization
ct this State has any knowledge of, or
connivance with any fraudulent practice
or intended wrong in connection with the
election, is entirely false and challenge
proof.
