You Should Vote the Prohibition Ticket
Because neither of the other parties
can possibly settle the issues now before
the country.
Because no party can legislate for the
good of the country that is controlled by
vicious minority.
Because both of the old parties are
controlled by the rum and saloon vote,
for every intelligent person knows that
neither party could have shadow of
chance to win without that vicious vote.
Because this nation must have new
party in order to preserve the republic,
and that party must be one that will not
have the rum and saloon vote in it.
Because the Prohibition party is the
only one that can keep out that class Of
men.
Because the success of the Prohibition
party means the total overthrow of the
drink traffic, and the 81 900, 900, 900 now
expended for liquor in this nation would
60 for the necessaries of life, which
would at once give employment to over
1,0O0,0 900 idle hands.
Because your vote would register your
convictions on the liquor question.
Because you would proclaim your OPP
position to the present corrupt political
methods of the old parties and declare
yourself in favor of new party.
Because your vote would help the
building up of the new party.
Because the Prohibition party is the
only one that stands for the home and
the protection of the rising generation.
Because the whisky business is no
worse than the law that permits it; the
law is no worse than the political party
that enacts or continues the law, and the
party is no worse than you if you vote
with it.
Because you owe it to your home, your
country and your God.

THE TIME PAST FOR POLITICAL IN
TOLERANCE

The VIcksburg Commercial-Herald,
in times past one of the most ultra of
Democratic journals, closes a conserv-
alive and sensible article on the Rat
Tiff Jackson tragedy at Kosciusko as
follows:
The seed of the trouble in this in
stance was sown in political intoler-
ance. and the harvest was one of terri
BILE blopd-shed, that should warn the
people of our State, that they should
not encourage politicians who cannot
tolerate those who differ with them.
With the repeal of the Federal election
laws, two political parties were born in
every Southern State. At present one
of them may be small and weak, but as
the days. weeks and months roll by,
the weak opposition will grow strong
enough to contend manfully for power
and place. 1t is better that there
should be two parties in every State,
and we are sure the people will never
consent that one party shall have eve
rything it's own way, right or wrong.
All who are informed can already re-
alize that next Fall, there will be two
Congressional tickets in nearly every
District in the South. In the coming
State elections, there will be two or
ganized parties, and they will contend
for all the State offices. In all the
counties there will be two parties, and
the first lesson the people should teach
all politicians and all aspirants for of
flee, should be that they muet be toll
Grant of opposition and entirely will
ing to leave the decisions of measures
and the choice of official servants to
the people.

The Bland Seigniorage bill would
have passed the Senate last week but
for the senatorial courtesy" extended
by the Democratic majority to Senator
John Sherman. AS result of this
Difference to the great Republican gold
bug, the bill still hangs fire in the up
per house; while it is confidently as
serted by the gold-bugs that Grover
Sherman will veto it, if it does finally
run the gauntlet of John Cleveland's
opposition in the Senate.

ton that the President has said he will
veto the Bland seigniorage bill if it
passes the Senate, for the reason that
it 'would be destructive of the repose

abroad" Secretary Carlisle is also

Would you call it craze or last for of
flee? 1t has come to the point that for
every office to be filed in the country
from the highest to the lowest there
are usually from three to dozen clam
orous aspirants and an unseemly
scramble. For shame on American in
dependence and manhood! Such a con-
dition savors far more of the smell of
loayes and fishes than of patriotism
