To the Democracy of Hardeman County:
Your committee wishes to impress upon each
and every democrat I'm Hardeman County the
necessity of upholding the party organization
and to urge you to work for the election in Au-
gust of the solid democratic ticket as named by
our Primaries. The necessity of good govern
| ment, the welfare of your state and county, the
| prosperity of yourselves and the future happi-
| ness of your children all demand that the DEM
Ocrats OF every district throughout the state
| should stand as unit against republican mis-
RUE, extravaganza and oppression. Party or
ganiZatiOn is absolutely necessary to maintain
| the principles of Washington and Jefferson, and
party unity all along the li1e must be had in or
der to attain the great ends for which democracy
| has battled from the foundations of our govern
| meat. BY disseutlOn nothing can be accom-
plshed: from disruption only ills can col, e; in
unity alone is strength. Democracy to be
cessfdl must stand gather at all times from the
smallest district to the national election. Every
! candidate should speak out and work for the
| ticket, and every democrat who has the good of
his party at heart and regards its principles
with Veneration SHOULD give at least portion OF
| his time 10 working for what he regards best
for his county and more conclusive to the well
fare end happiness of TIE entire people Let us
| then one and all show our democracy by our
works and our faith in the teachings of our party
by endeavoring to prOmulgate its ideas and by
aiding to elect the men endorsed by its sanction
Already has the seeming descriptions in our ranks
encouraged our foes, and the deceptive pleadings
of independent candidates are tending to weaken
our ergarizataon. Let us work together end
vote tOgethe', and let OLD Hardeman continue
to burn the beacon lights of the doctrines of de-
mocracy, so that all can read its truths, and the
world may know that ours is still the banner
county of the stale. The ticket is safe and de-
moe 'acy is triumphant Ii every man-wiu only
do his duty.
