Why Dubois County should have
that Nomination at this Time.

Among democrats there Il ALWAYS 4
Spirit oi fairness thar does not exist
Among other parties, aud we think when
certain facts are presented 10 the honest
sturdy democracy Of this district. the,
VIII fully agree with US, that the Con-
gresham fnr this district ought ~ come
from Dubois county az this time. In
the nrst place. we present to the people.
~ candidate for Congress, man who.
we have no hesitancy in saying, il the
equal OF any other nau in the district
that y now asking the prefcrment or
who Is likely to seek il during this cam
pasgn-we mean Hon. John l.. Brefz
We present yon man who has risen 70
the position he now Justly occupies in
the estimation Of the people who know
him best, by his own hard struggles aud
sturdy habits nsn who BY actual par
ticipation, for over twenty years. IN
farming, has fully acquainted himself
with all the hardships OF farmers life
anh who Is aware Of the many imposi-
tons and burdens placed upon the IN
suspccting farmer aud laboring man. In
you will but talk with him for short
time, vou will find that he is ia full SYM
pathy with the farmer and laborer. and
10 ready az any time that an opportunity
presents itself 70 correct BY wholesome
legislation the abuses, and the unjust an
unequal taxation imposed upon the far
mers and laboring men. by schemng and
selfish corporations and trusts. " hich are
noted the world over for their cunning
ness In shaping legislation in their own
favor, and against the honest farmer aud
laborer. by sending their hordes Of slick
and Shiny -toungued lobbyists. who wine
and dine congressman for the purpose or
getting some law enacted for their special
benefit, and against the poorer elsa III
people who can not meet these nefsrious
human vampires 10 the broad and spa
cious lobby Of congress and oppose their
robber schemes, but who must Ut neces-
sity trust TO the honesty and integrity OF
their representative in congress 10 pro-
tect their rights and interests. We pro.
mise you now II you send Mr.. Brett 10
congress, that you can rely with perfect
confidence In his vigilance for the rights I
~ that class OF people which is beng
daily imposed upon BY the rich barons
q this country, and that The willy lobby \
lists will not sway his Judgment from

friend Of the soldiers. their widows aud
and orphans. and favors . service pen-
sion law for the nations defenders. We
point Will pride 10 the honorable record \

elk consecutive years in this, one Of the \
largest circuits IN the state OF Indiana.
ana feel safe 10 saying to the Democracy I,
that MS course IN Congress will be OF the \
same honest, vigorous, and aggressive
character. 30 confident are we that We |,
are presenting the Democracy with the
right man. that we chalDge and invite On

Again, we sincerely think we are enti-
TIED TO that nomination, for the reason
that ever since Dubois county has been
