ing Two Newsboys.
Charlie Hodgkins and Hoppe" Brown
old, two newsboys of uncertain age and
residence, are engaged in dispute as to
the ownership Of box of Wheeling stoGses.'

newsboys and bootblacks haNA taken differ
ent sides, but the question has not yet been
settled to the satisfaction Of the boys. In

THB PROPER
WAY TO Vote,
One Black X Strikes a Full Blow
For the Nations Honor.
PRESENT No "! TICKET
But Put Your Mark Under the
Star and 1t will Co int
for National and
State Honor.

The fun or this campaign is all over but
the voting. All the fun there has been
from the very start in June right up to to-
day wont equal the glory of going into the
polling place tomorrow and smashing re-
pudiation and anarchy right square be-
tween the eyes. II wont take more than
two minutes to do this, but the memory Of
it will last lifetime. After 1t is done
man can feel the same sort of satisfaction
that a soldier feels when he has helped to
win a great battle.
But If 1t should happen that he went to
the polls in defence Of his nations honor,
az every man will go who goes to vote the
straight Republican ticket, and should
learn afterward that he he had made some
mistake in preparing his ballot, and that
the ballot in consequence was not counted,
he would feel like the soldier who, in the
days OF muzzleloaders, found dozen cart
ridges In his gun barrel after the hight and
tho first of the lot bullet-end down. The
voter who finds his ballot uncounted
through any fault of his, will probably re-
member it with sorrow to his dying day.
So make no mistake. The safest and surest
way to administer the Knockout blow to
the anarchists is to vote the straight Re-
publican ticket. Now read these instruc-
lions and follow them and you can't go
wrong:
When you go into the polling place the
clerk will hand you one big official ballot.
Take into the booth with you. On 1t you
will see column containing star This
column contains the names Of the men you
want to vote for If you want to hit repudia-
ton between the eyes. The names are all
right Then take the stamp bearing the X
and use it to the left of the star. Then fold
your ballot as you have been instructed;
leave the booth and return the ballot to the
election officer who Is waiting to receive it.
That's all
There Is no reason In the world why you
should bother with any other way than this.
Even if there should happen to be name
on the ticket that you don't like, remember
that that man stands for national honor
and against reputation. Even If there is
the name Of a man who you think is your
Personal enemy on the ticket
remember that he stands for national honor
and against reputation, and the satisfac-
ton OF no private grudge can be as import
ant as he beating down of this assault that
is being made on the national integrity for
Bryan and his fellow fanatics. There Will
be plenty of time to settle other matters
when the integrity Of the Uneited States Of
America is not in the balance.
Here are some things that YOU must not
do under any circumstances. Ii you do any
one Of them your vote viii not be counted.
Don't forget that.
Don't mark your ballot with anything
but the stamp bearing the X. If you use
