lie and the taxpayers were careful to
pass by his opponent and professional
politicians of his ilk.
All Of these facts and many more re-.
bounding to Mr.. Wentcr's credit are
not lost upon the voters, and such of
them as have not been thoroughly con.
versant with them are being made so.
for upon the Democratic side this has
been u campaign Of education. not Of
misrepresentation Of fiub-dub. There
has been no appeal to racial bias or
prejudice In Mr.. wentcr's campaign.
lie Is the friend of the German. Amcri-
can people because he comes of their
race. and the best blood of that great
nation flows In his veins. lie Is the
friend of the Irish American people. be-
cause he has ever expressed his admira-
ton of the virtues of that people. has
ever admired their splendid consistent
party loyalty. ever true to party and to
principle. aud because he has practical
~ bcfricndcd them In the matter of
employment In the great work of which
he is the head and front-thc drainage
canal.
lie Is the friend of the POlish.Amcri.
can. because his sires hailed from con-
tguous territory. and he has ever
claimed that they make model and
thrifty citizens. lie Is the friend of
the swedish American, the Italian.
American. aud indeed of all citizens,
whether Of foreign or national extrac.
ton. so long us they are true to the
iiag and the teachings and provisions
of the Constitution. Why? Because
he Is above all things an American of
the tricst and highest type. whose
principles are broad and generous as
the boundaries of the great nation Of
which he II so proud to bc u citizen.
and which contains within Its bosom,
from ocean to ocean the blood. the bone
and sinew. the brain and talent. the In.
dustry and enterprise. the handicraft.
The pluck. the energy. the united. and
perfected civilization Of all races of all
mankind. With him the rights of one
citizen will not be trampled upon. that
the fads and vicious prcjudiccs Of an.
other may be- gratiicd.
This IL more than can be- said of his
opponent. the representative Of the
musty ana moldy principles. sumptu-
AIRY ana blue laws. In all essentials
The citizen under such Il rule rs Mr..
Wcntcr can and will give will be- pre-
served and protected IN his public and
private rights. That Is us much rs any
good citizen ought to or will ask for.
Finally. Mr.. Wentcr IL n Democrat.
loyal. true and faithful to the teachings
ana the principles of his party. The
enemies of that party are to-day en-.
deavor.ng to dccry Mr.. Wenter's faith
fulncss to Democracy. but they are
neither good nor fitting judges of any
mans Democracy. and no man cares
for such criticisms. When the biased

Republican organs cry out against hin
