WHAT ARE WE GOING TO DO
ABOUT ITf

In recent debate between Mr.. Mont
gomery and Mr.. Murray, Montgomery
claimed that Murray had taken advan-
tage of him in coming into Hardin coun-
ty during his absence, to which Mr..
Murray replied, "You can 60 spend the
remainder Of your time from now until
the 4th Of August in Breckenridge coun-
ty-my county-and will not be afraid
of you taking a single vote from me-"
breckenridge county people, what does
this teach us? We see by this that our
countyman has confidence in us. lie
loves and trusts his home people and
pins his faith on this rock. He has gone
out single handed and alone, faced the
enemy among strangers with not a friend
from home or a familiar face to stand by
his side and give him encouragement.
He has fought the battle over the twelve
remaining counties, making from one to
three speeches day and travelling hun
dreds OF miles. Everywhere he has
been received with open arms by the
people, and his canvass has been one
continuous ovation. Now, what are we
Breckenridge county people going to do
about it? Dave Murray trusts in us be-
cause he loves his home people and be-
lieves that they entertain the same kind
ly feeling towards him. Are we going
to betray the trust he reposes in us?
From every nook and corner of the
Fourth Congressional District, through
Murray men who are stanch and true,
the cheering words come up, "Stand fast
old b eckenridge, do your part, and we
will elect your countyman to Congress"
Are we going to do it? Are we going to
have it said. after this election, 'if
Dave Murray's home people had come
up and voted for him he would have
been elected" if he should happen to be
defeated?
All over this district Murray's friends
are fighting day and night against ring
politicians, government store-keepers,
gaugers and postmasters for his success.
What are we doing2 Are we going to
fold our hands aud sit down and let the
brave and true Murray men in other
parts of the district fight the battle
through single-handed to success or go
down in ignominious defeat because of
our cowardice or Indifference? No. A
thousand times no The BRECKENRIDGE
News has too much confidence in the
patriotic people OF Breckenridge county
TO believe any such thing. The News
believes that every true breckenridge
county man will stand by the side of
the son Of her soil. We all recognize in
Dave Murray not only Breckenridge
county man, brother, a friend, a COM
panion, who would shed his life's blood
for his friends, but we can see in him
man far superior to the man who opposes
him. Morally he is Alex. Montgomery's
equal, if not his superior, in any respect,
intellectually he is positively his super
Tor in every respect. TO secure his cleo
ton every Democrat in Breckenridge
county wants to be up and stirring.
Every man wants to get out to the polls
next Saturday, the 4th of August, and
see that Dave Murray is benefited by
your having come. A vote for Murray
is not only vote for justice, vote for
the people against monopolistic political
rings, but it is a vote for your county, a
vote for your home, vote. for your own
family and your own fireside. In the
name OF all these the BREcHENRIDGE
News appeals to the people of Brecken-
ridge county, and this is the last appeal.
Let there be such shout 90 up for Muir
ray from Breckenridge county next Sat
urday that the hills and valleys, noun
tains and plains will catch the echo and
carry the news 10 Washington that
Montgomery is defeated. 1t all depends
upon us. What are we going TO do
about il?
MURRAY made a splendid speech at
