porters of another political party to carry
the election for MS. The Republican
League is enlisted in this fight to help
bring about victory for protection and
sound money, for prosperity and to again
restore the republican party 10 power:
We must fight if we expect to win. and
ali members of the league must use their
utmost pDdCavOrS to see that every vOt'
