address was issued today:
Headquarters Democratic National
Committee-To the People of the United
States: The issues of the campaign are
made plain before you for your judg-
ment. They are defined and at last so
we'll understood that an intelligent man
cannot fail to apprehend what policy he
will choose for his country when he
comes to exercise his sovereign power
OH election day.
The gravity of the crisis in the ma
tion's life appeals to every person of
repute to cast his ballot by giving the
sacred and supreme duty every atten-
ton, unintluenced by passions or preju-
dice, and with his search for right lie
lumined by his love of the country and
for the happiness and prosperity OF all
his cOuntrymen. 1t is universally con-
ceded that as the verdict of the people
is now made up the tendency of the gov
ernment will be determined. and that
on the rectitude or error OF their judg-
ment in this contest turn questions in
volying the future welfare of Ameri-
cans. With
An Abiding Faith,
therefore, in the Intelligence, the patri-
otisn and the political purity of the
masses; believing that the principles of
our party, practically applied in govern
ing, will achieve the greatest good to
the greatest number; and that the Re-
publican party, which vaunts the wealth
of the especially favored by law as evil
dence of the prosperity of all the people,
has found no lasting Judgement in your
minds, we ask you to support the DEM
Ocratic candidates.
1.-The record of each candidate for the
presidency in the administration OF that
Office is urged. You are asked to Judge
between them. Arrayed against us in
the struggle which is now on are all the
sinister forces which unlimited money
can equip. Organized bodies of men
who have gathered enormous wealth at
the expense of the people under unjust
tariff laws and who have bargalned to
contribute for election purposes. in con-
sideratlon of the enactment of such
laws, help to fill to overlooking the Re-
publican campaign treasury.
Every chairman adds to the fund on
promises of the highest places OF honor
and trust in the gift of the nation.
Al, Army of OfEiceIoIders,
by choice or compulsion. pay into the
same treasury. Corporations, holding
lll-gotten lands of the people, by their
contributions seek to keep from power
party and candidates determined to
right Injustice and to restore to the peo-
pie unearned and legally forfeited SUBJ
sides of the public domain. With q
body of hired professionals, drilled and
experienced in political intimidation
ana debauchery, our opponents are pre-
pairing final assault upon the freedom
and honesty of the ballot.
"InoSe most exposed to temptation
from poverty or debt, from avarice,
party ambition or personal animOSities
are being sought out under q regular
organized system, as are the men who
are most likely TO serve the purpose,
when the time shall come, to tempt
them at the ballot to be false to their
country.
Men are employed, they are listed.
and most powerful Influences taken to
control each voter. When men are
found who cannot. by any scheme, be
brought TO directly vote as desired, the
system includes the alternative of keep
ing them from the polls by offering
highly paid employment, by intimida-
ton or by other methods within the
Ingenuity and resources of skilled ma
nipulatorS employed for such purposes.

flee holders at its command. 1t will not
agree to seal the future legislation Of
congress for money paid now into it's
party treasury. 1t will not agree to give
high places III the peoples service for
money. 1t will not contract to uphold
bargain made by the Republican party
under cover OF law, for any contribu-
ton, however great. 1t
Appeals to the PeODIe
again, one and all, to meet these oppo-
nents thus corruptly banded against the
friends of good government. We have
no resources except what the people
furnish. We call for means only to
spread the truth among the people and
to aid i'll getting to the polls the full
and Intelligent votes; also to detect
fraud and to punish crimes against the
ballot wherever in the United States
they are perpetrated and by whomso-
ever committed or directed
Every indication points to the de-
feat of the Minneapolis candidates, and
to the triumphant election of Cleve-
land and Stevenson. The popular will
clearly favors the Democratic party,
All anxiety about the state of New
ork is allayed, and she will give her
electoral vote for our candidates. All
reports from independent and conserva-
tive sources i'll other parts of the coun-
try are exceptionally promising. With
vigilance and timely action everywhere,
which, with your aid. we pledge, honest
ballots will be polled, counted and de-
clared throughout the country, and if
this is done defeat is not possible.
This committee calls upon all good
citizens for aid in these objects. We
will welcome contributions from every
honest man. No contribution will be
accounted too small. Wherever money
order office can be found the means ex-
lst for placing at our disposal funds for
the principles which We uphold.
