Alpena weekly argus. [volume] (Alpena, Mich.) 1871-1893, 1892-11-02
Vote for Turnbull and Alpern.

The reduction of the tariff taxes can
never take place until the tariff reformers
get possession OF the u. s. Senate, as well
as tho other two branches OF the general
government. The prospects for the DEM
ocrats electing the next President OF the
United States and the next House OF Ma
tional Representatives seems ut this date
to be sure, and thus every effort should
be made to try and obtain possession OF
the Senate.
The Senators of Congress are elected
by the State Legislatures, and the next
Michigan State Legislature will have to
select one. The Importance OF electing a
Democratic majority to the next Legis-
lature is thus plainly evident to every
tariff reformcr, and I'm this important
election, the Democrats Of Alpena, and
every person who favors a reduction Of
the present unjust and burdensome tariff
taxes, have duty before them that they
must not neglect. Alpena county ought
to give at least two hundred majority for
the Democratic candidates for legislative
offices. The candidates are two we'll
known citizens, Casper Alpen and j. ID.
Turnbull, and we ask every Democrat to
give them u hearty support. One good
way In which hearty support can be
given to them, is for every Democrat
in this county to visit the polls on election
day and cast Democratic ballot. It Is q
duty that every Democrat should per-
form.
The Democratic candidates are citizens
OF Alpcna, and II elected, one will be In
the Senate and the other I'm the House Of
Representatives. Alpena will be thus
well situated to get bills passed that effect
her interests, as she would then have two
able Representatives to do her work.
AS regards the Goth Senatorial district,
for which j. d. Turnbull is the Demo
cratic candidate, we have no fears. The
district Is strongly Democratic. The
counties composing tho district have
given Democratic majority the past
three general elections. Att last Pres
idential election 1t gave q Democratic
majority Of 1872, and then Alpena only
had Democratic majority of 1S. AS Mr..
Turnbull Is n man who has always polled
q large vote, and Is admitted to be q
strong candidate, 1t does seem to us that
there ought to be no doubt about his
election.
The situation in the Representative
district Is much different. The vote
| four years ago was divided almost evenly
between the Democrats and Republicans.
This district is therefore considered a
close one, but with the well known Cas-
per Alpern as the candidate, we believe
it can be carried by the Democrats. TIC
do so will require that the Democrats
turn out on election day and vote fol
Cleveland, Morse, Weadock, Turnbull
Alpcrn, and all the rest Of candidates
who form such an admirable ticket. Az
the saying is, the Democrats should take
off their coats and work for Casper. He
is candidate who is popular with his
party, and as he has taken the hard tasl
OF leading the hosts i'm the contest to bt
waged throughout the Alpena' Represen
tative district, every Democrat should
rally to his support. IL such is done, Mr.
Alpern will be the next Representative o.
the Alpcna district.
II is in the Goth Senatorial district and
the Alpena Representative district thai
tariff reformers can deal heavy blow al
the party of monopoly. The persons who
favor reduction of the burdensome taxes
can, if they wish, elect two Representa-
tives who will not vote for q U. 5. Sena
tor unless he is in favor of repeating the
tariff robbery laws. There are enough
tariff reformers in the two districts to de-
feat the candidates of the party that ia
vors the rich at the expense of the poor
and who believe i'm taxing one man tt
support another. The duty OF every
tariff reformer i'm this contest is plain
He must support the Democratic candi
dates
