JUDGE ICE SUGGESTED.

To the Editor of the Register.
Notwithstanding that the Second
Congressional district made a stupen-
dous reversal of her party supremacy
at the last election. it does not indicate
that she will continue so.

uance Of a party that is hostile to the
best interests of our country, that
through their manipulate the wealth
of the many has been centralized into
the hands Of the few and their utter in
competency of dealing with the vital
questions that are now pressing upon
American intelligence for solution.
If the Democracy will but listen to
the voice of Americas freemen who are
anxiously waiting for that welcome day
when they can Through their votes
end the reign of the monOpolistlc power
and bring the country back to the sound

If the Democrats of the Second dis
