An Uncrowned Sovereign.
Every man owes to himself and to his
household that he should pause in his
daily avocations and give way In bis bus
mess to stop and think what is best for
himself and the stats. The duty is no
light one, but one that carries with IL the
greatest responsibility and a mistake may
result not only in disadvantage TO you
but to your children and children's
children. There Is one sure thing, either
the Republican or Democratic ticket will

low taxes. and, as have said, an unlimited
credit Now the Republicans ask you
to change this and give up Democratic
rule and hand yourselves over to their
party. They cry for the adjustment Of
the poll tax. / think man whois not In
terested enough in the welfare OF his
state to pay 80 cents year. he has no
right to vote. They want a new consti-
tuition. We all want that, and the Dem

years, and its party platform is pledged
to it. The masses are in favor Of 1t.
believe that all officers should be elected
from governor down. No man should
have Office for life. Whether appointed
