A Few Last Acts Of Desperation in the
Way of Lying Circulars-Where
to Vote.

There remains but one thing for good
citizens to do to-day. That is to go and
vote. Those who favor good government
and an observance of the laws will vote
the Republican ticket. This is not parti-
san election it is an election in which the
law and order-loving people are striving
against the lawbreakers. criminals and ex-
convicts. The Sullivan machine represents
the lawbreakers. While a great many
Democrats will vote for Mr.. Denny, to-
day. in the interest of good government,
1t Is necessary that the Republicans get
out their full strength. 1t is necessary for
many reasons. 1t is necessary to show the
Democrats who intend vote for MIR.
Denny that the Republicans Of the city
are unit for an era of respectable gov
ernment. T. Pinkerton Taggart the DEM
ocratic chairman, has been using every
effort to whip Democrats into the party
line, and vast sums of money have been
expended to get every Democrat who in
tends to vote for Sullivan to the polls. A
survey of the vote in Indianapolis for mu-
nicipal candidates in past years shows that
the party that has been able to get out
Its best party strength has been able to
win This is on account of the closeness
of majority of one party over another in
the city. Although the law-loving people
are against Sullivan, yet if they fail to
go to the polls Sullivan Will be elected be-
cause his chairman has made provisions
for getting almost every man who will
vote for the machine ticket to the polls.
Taggart has hired almost every available
vehicle in the city, and he has been quite
able to do this, with the immense corrup-
ton fund that has been placed at his dis

to stay at home or to neglect to vote until
it is too late. II good Republicans neglect
to vote, the espousal of Mr.. Denny's cause
by the law-loving people will be of no
avail as far as this election goes. 1t is alb
solutely necessary that every Republican
go to the polls and vote for Mr.. Denny.
1t is hardly necessary to point out the
wisdom of going to the polls early. In the
northern wards where the Republican vote
is the strongest. Taggart has had old men
appointed as Democratic officials. This is
done to make the progress of the vote very
slow in the afternoon, thereby shutting off
as many as possible of Republican votes
when the polls close. 1t is wise, therefore,
for Republicans and good citizens to 60 TO
the polls in the morning. The polls open at
o'clock and close at 6. The polls can be
closed at any time after o'clock if no
voter offers to vote after that time within
a period of fifteen minutes.
The Republican ticket should be voted
without a scratch, as the entire Democratic
ticket is composed of men unworthy to
govern the city of Indianapolis. Their un-
worthiness has been pointed out from time
TO time in the daily press. To vote the
straight ticket it is necessary to stamp the
eagle at the head of the Republican column
the ballot Do not stamp anywhere else
after that Then see that the ink is dry
before folding the ballot that blot
may be made.
AS the election day begins there is little
doubt that the entire Republican ticket Will
be elected, and by majority larger than
that ever given candidate in this city.
Fraud alone can defeat the ticket, and 1t Is
not believed that the Sullivan machine
can elect its ticket even by such corruption
and debauchery of the ballot.
