people nor to the Democratic party for the Re
publican record in the conspicuous issue Ia
the state campaign this year In the inter
ests IL true temperance and under the laws of
Iowa enacted by the representatives OF it, SOW
erelgn people, the saloon was made an OUTLAW
In this state We charge that the OUTLAW has
had the patronage, counsel AMI protection OF
the Democratic party; that the Democratic
party, as IL has won power, has nulithe the
law, deiicd the authority of the state and the
expressed will OF the peoplc, and that now an
appeal Is made to the electors Il the whole
state for approval of the iawleis work, We
recognize that 1t Is law against defiance OF
law, subordination against INSTRUMENTATION;
the state.of Iowa against tac Democratic
party. We recognize that the issue Is between
true temperance and free and in discriminate
traffic. We renew our ne Ice TO the people
and submit the issue to them, We recognize
the fact that the control OF the next lcg,sla-
ture by the Democratic party means state wi 70
license and the control of the next legislature
by the Republicans means cont naed OF posi-
ton to the btheSts Of the saloon over
through the maintenance AMI enforcement OF
law.
"a. We denoancc the Democratic party OF
Iowa AS insincerc in its dealings with the sa-
| loon issue. We charge that party with service
10 the saloon and with the purpose 10 strength.
en- the saloon grasp upon the homes aud poll.
! ties OF the state. We cite in proof of this its
! surrender this wear of the local option plank
.
\ endorsement by the state was made and on
which petition for the legislature was made.
| We charge that this alanGo llneat OF local op.
| t,oa is the forerunncr for farther premcata
/ ted betrayal, and that trust IN the Democratic
| party VIII end in the complete breaking down
| OF the temperance legislation OF the state aud
/ the complete turning over of the state In every
/ township thereof to the pollution and tester
of the saloon against whatever portions may
/ now be free
| thn al NJ
! Boics to the goycrnorship OF Iowa. We charge
! that in his unwisc and ambitious zeal To cntl.
| waite the friendship and support Of the alleged
| "ncw allies in the northwest aud on that
strength To commend himself to the favoring
/ graCcs of Grover Cleveland, that he did most
outragcously mlsrcprtscnt the most industri
GUS, frugal and prosperous people of Iowa In
| his efforts at u banquet speech In the city
| of New York on the pa OF Dccember last. We
! dcnounce as purposcy unloading the alleged
| statistics with which the governor assumed to
sustain the indictment against the state which
had digniicd his nama.
! Is We denounce the Ottumwa platform of
/ this year MS framed with the deliberate pur-
| pose to miSlea1 and deceive, wherein sympathy
/ Is expressed where mono Is fell; wherein hope
is proposed whore none viii be rendered !;
| wherein purposes are ayowel which are not
entertained. In the support OF this indict
| meDt we pontto the pretended friendship Tor
! the soldier and arraie ument at the same Tins
! OF the Republican party Tor appropriations Tor
| the payment OF pensions, to the free silver
| plank intended TO deceive the supporters OF
| free and unlimited coinage of silver; TO the
| plank assuming TO rcatiirm the doctrine Of
| control and regulation Of railroads n policy
| implanted upon this state under the admins
tration of the last Republican governor
| against the opposition, secret and open, Of
the Democratic party, extending to an alliance
with corporate power In the first election Of
| railroad commissioner under the law in 1886
| II. We denouncc the Democratic party for
Misrepresentation in its platform and before Of
the Mckinley bill, charging shat II seeks 10
miSlead the people through the reiteratiCn of
untruths as TO the effect Of chat bill, and in all
ways york upon the preJudccs of the unin-
formed.
Is. We arraign the Democratic party for
OPP ositon to ballot reform in the south, while
yet making II pre- cnSe OF ballot reform In
Iowa where the undlsputed right to cast II free
ballot and to have 1t honestly counted goes In
every precinct of the state unchallenged.
10. We ARIA On the Democrats party as the
enemy OF the laborer, s2heming to break down
the defcnses of protective laws, to block the
wheels OF home industry, and TO degrade the
masses OF the people. As "a party controlled
by the aristocratic aud reactionary tendency
OF the legacy OF slavery.
| 20. The Republican party OF Iowa appeals
| t. the intelligence and TO the Integrity Of the
people of this state and from all good citizens
| we invite support
