"Castoria is the best remedy for children Of

Beat the Populists ANY How.

Said Capt. Myers at Noblesville
and at Hartford City: "Keep
away from POpulist meetings, and
it you can't vote the Democratic
ticket, for Gods sake vote the Re.
publican ticket"
The chairman of the Republican
State Committee of Wisconsin
says: "The present unsettled so.
cial and economic conditions make
it necessary that the POpulists
should be driven out of public life.
The POpulists are a dangerous
menace to law and order and good
government 1 had rath,
er see a decent Democrat i'm the
House than an indecent POpulist,
and so far as their principles are
concerned they are all indecent
however agreeable may be their
personality"
We publish the above not that
we care for the dirty slime of these
old parties, but to show that the
two old parties are together in an
attempt to beat the Populists. The
money power owns them, and it
matters not which is elected so the
people are defeated. Now readers
if you are wise enough to take a
hint, you will turn out in full force
on the 9Th of November, and vote
for the Peoples party.
