On next Tuesday the voters of the
United States will render their verdict
on these issues. What shall 1. bep
The question can only be answered by
the voters themselves. The voters Of
Kansas are the architects Of their own
fortunes, the srbiters Of their own des.
TIMES. They can twine for themselves
garlands OF victory, win them and wear
them and oil the coming years with Joy
for work we'll done, with wrong van
pushed, with the credit Of the State
redeemed and Nation moving
onward with increased prosperity, or
they can prepare themselves for humil-
istion and mourning over opportuni-
ties lost, the credit and good name Of
Kansas further degraded by political
adventures and the Nations heritage
endangered. II the people Of Kansas
want garlands they have first TO deserve
them, then work for them, fight for
them, vote for them.
The work OF education is largely
accomplished already. The intelligent
public sentiment of this Estate Is
overwhelmingly Republican, but 1t
will not do TO rely alone on public
sentiment. The unholy alliance
between the Office seekers Of the
Peoples Party, and a faction Of the
Democratic party which is utterly
devoid Of all political principle is q
powerful menace TO the integrity and
prosperity OF our State. This alliance
can only be defeated by arousing all
the voters to the full realization Of what
the success of such an INSCRIPTIONS
combination means, The unusually
large attendance upon the Republican
meetings In the country indicate that
the people Of the rural districts are
thoroughly aroused TO the supreme
Importance Of frustrating the Infamous
scheme Of these fusionists, concocted
by unprincipled politicians for their
own ACKNOWLEDGEMENT, at the expense Of
the honor and integrity OF the State.
The one essential thing is to get the
vote out on election day. 1t Is esti-
mated that at least 500 Republicans
Of this county abstained from voting
last November, 1t is the duty Of the
Republican county and township com
mitteemen TO see that every one OF
these men is at the polls next week
On the efficiency of the committeeman
depends largely the vote Of the county
and OF the State. But the duty Of
working from now until the close o
the polls on Tuesday night is not
confined to the committeeman.
To the Republicans Of Dickinson
county the REFLECTOR appeals. 1t II

certain by getting every Republican

that every voter will be there, Atten,
