We understand that the
"sttaightouts" have had a census
taken of each township of the vot-
ers. They have the voters classified,
"Straightouts," Peoples Party"
"Doubtful." We understand that
their plan is to stand around the
street corners and catch every fel,
low who is "doubtful.n Are you
one of the "doubtfuls?" Will they
catch you! When people have been
thinking and reading for themselves
: as they have aDou. the issues before
us, it is presumptuous in town fel.
5 low, who mas read but one side, tC
7 try 10 give US wisdom in a pair OF
minutes. The game won't work
The people will no longer be lead
They are leaders themselves.
3 Mr.. j. NJ. Spell has made an ex
= cellent Sheriff, he is good man, ano
we have the kindest feelings 70
: him personally, but his head ha
gotten badly mixed about the differ
ence between the people and party
He says that he is for reform and i
with the people in sympathy, Blu
that the Democratic party put hin
- ought to stay with the party. TIL
Sheriff should have remembers
that the people put him in Office
and that it was the same people VIII
are in the reform movement to-day
The dominant element of what
s. left in the old party machine did no
=, put him in Office, but has Away
been against him. They now sim
ply take him up because they kno,
they are weak, and they hope h
= will gain some strength from tn
reform side for them. Sheriff Spe
has chung to the name Of the part
A and turned his back on his friends
He has deserted the reform move
d ment. IF he swallows Clevelan
m and the Chicago platform he there
by gives up every principle dear
~ reformers, every principle that hold
~ out the least ray of hope for relic
to the toiling masses Of the Sout
and the West. We are sorry to Sc
." good men still hugging the tatere
~ remnants of the old party machir
in this great struggle for huma
nd liberty, this tremendous fight b
AN the masses against poverty and o.
preston. But to all such we mu
We sadly say goodbye. This fight
N. not over men, it is for principle an
yn Justice. So if our own brother we
candidate for one of the old pa
49, ties, we could not support him. v
;. would regret that he had made tt
.. mistake, that he was wrong, but
" we were to vote for him we wou
be saying by our actions that he W
ice right and that we endorsed his m
Ia take. The reformers are terribly
'pe earnest, and are in this fight fro
ext principle, therefore as popular
Sheriff Spell is he will not get a
no. more votes than the ticket he star
,is- with, he will not get any more vo
mo than F. r. Cooper and John
,tar Beaman. The people will pass S
tence on them all alike.
,o. Please Come.
