ciples led us to victory then and they
will lead US to victory now.
Resotred, That we denounce the
vagaries of sub-treasury schemes and
government ownership of railroads as
only another name for robbery where
by dishonest men expect to foist them
selves into power and then perpetuate
their rule by adding an incredible
of appointees to the already 9
large number of federal office holders.

Hon. l.. Stillwell, as faithful. honest

cordially recommend him to the favor
able consideration of the people and t
endorse his candidacy for re election.
