If man could vote in primary
without being honor-bound to submit
to, and help to carry out the wishes ex-
pressed at such primary, there would
be nothing in primary election. A
democratic primary is nothing more
than a compact entered into by all DEM
ocrats calling said primary; giving each
voter Of that party an opportunity to
express his choice by ballot, for the
man whom he wants to make the race
before the general election.
With the express understanding that
everyone who participates in the prima-
ry will acquiesce to the will of the ma
jority, and help to carry out their wish
es at the general election; nothing could
he fairer, as each and every vO-
ter who is willing to pledge himself to
be governed by the action of the prima-
ry, and who pledges himself to support
the nominee, is entitled to east his vote
for the man of his choice.
If men were not willing to submit to
majorities, they would NOT submit to the
election Of any officer at the general
election.
That it is right for majority to rule,
is one of the time-honored principle OF
the American people, and it matters mol
Eow great our opposition may be to the
candidate, even of other politicl parties
when the PEOPLE have cast their votes
for man and he gets majority, We
always yield This il one of the funda
mental principles of the democratic par
ty, and we take it that no democrat will
object in helping to carry out the com
pact entered into by the democrats Of
Lawrence County in giving an express
ion at the ballot box on March 10th.

Frank Boyd finished his course

me, know tins is gospel truth.
And now, voters, to show you what

self. Many years ago / was born

rights to all, and special privileges
to none. During all the years of
my existence, | have been FOR the
rich, and AGAINST the poor.
For more than a quarter Of a cen
fury | controlled the legislation of
this country, and the sweetest mo-
mcnts ofmy life were spent in TAX
ing money out of the poor mans
pocket and putting it into the peck
ct of the rich man. To place the
wealth and power of this country
in the hands of Il few, is the great
aim of my life. have placed an
enormous tax on all the accessories
of life, and will increase that if |

shield, and if | get the power in
my hands he shall stand over the
ballot boxes and control the cleo

manufacturer and grind the life out
of the consumers. | have squeezed
many hundred million dollars out
Of the people of this country to

world ever knew, at the expense of
the poor. My follwcrs sit at ban
quets which rival in magnificencc
the banquets of ancient Greece md

Rome, and within a stones throw
of them are women and children
to whom a five cent meal would be
a luxury. The lordly palaces that
crown New Englands hills were
built by money cxtorted from the
comon people of this country.
