"Wm. NJ. o. Dawson. Chairman State

THE national Republican committee
desires that you request the chairman OF
| each county committee to observe Sat-
urdny October 81. us Flag Day. with the
display OF flags and patriotic speeches

demonstration.
wv. ". OSBORNE. Secretary"
This meets mine and must meet the ap-
proval Of every patriot. The flag the
Republican party preserved and 20
whose field OF blue It has added 20 many
stars, Is a fit emblem of its patriotic en-
dcav0r in the great campaign for gound
money, national honor, protection. reel
pipc!ty and good times. The flag and the
Republican party stand for liberty
guarded by law. They stand for nn hon
rst currency OF both gold and silver The
Republican party Is the best friend OF
silver, because. since Il elected Abraham
LinEin President. 1t has coined more
| than iifty lines more silver than was
coined from the days of Washington 10
Buchanan: and It believes In still coin
ing all that the country needs md can
use. The Republican party believes In
maintaining the integrity OF the Su-
preme court and OF every other court OF
law. 1t believes that this nation Is big
| enough, strong enough, and should have
courage enough 10 protect, defend and
preserve Its own lie and property, and
the life and property OF every one Of It's
citizens. whether the assault on them is
made by foreign or O domestic foe. The
Republican party Is the friend Of both
capital and labor, because both are nee
cSeary 10 the development OF the Coua-
try, and neither Is OF use without the
other. The Republican party believes
In q protective tariff high enough 10 pro-
tect the working people against the un-
derpnid labor Of foreign countries, be-
cause 1t believes that this country cannot
long endure after Its labor!nS people arc
paUperized. II Is opposed TO cheap men
end 10 cheap labor. 1t believes that men
who work should receive enough wages
that they may live comfortably and de-
Gently and be able 10 educate their chill
dren In American school houses from
which fly the Stars and Stripes.
l hope thnt the request OF the national
committee will be observed, and that al
Republicans will show their colors on
the 3lst, and hang their banners IN tho
outer walls" and that in this they may
be iOlacd by all friends of honest money.
Our committee Is besleGed with re-
quests for speakers to address meetings
on the 3lst. II is impossible 20 supply
all: and where q speaker from abroad
cannot be heard. utilize home talent. Get
your young men TO talk and the young
women 10 read patriotic pieces. not for
getting Washnglon'S farewell adrcSs,
and I.incoln's Gettysburg speech. Have
your glee clubs sing, and your drur.s
and ifcs 20 make music.
Let not the gravity OF this campaign
be lightly considered. The lie OF the
nation Is always threatened when Its
honor IS assaulted. Very truly yours,
WN. VI. o. DAWSON,
Chairman State Republican Committee.
