the platform in the West Take The Detroit
Tribune 1t Will not support the platform !.
Take again, The Detroit Free Press. which Is
a paper OF influence among the Democrats and
which is owned by close personal friend OF
Don NJ. Dickinson. This paper bolted the nomi-
nations and the platform That will cripple the
cause in Michigan There will be no third ticket,
in my opinion, and there should be none
II am Republican. 1 have never voted any
thing but Republican ticket. and hope that
will never have to vote any other; but II the Re
publican National Convention at st. Louis had
adopted n platform and nominated Candidates
like the Chicago Convention did. and the chicago
Convention hG1 followed the course Of the st.
Louis Convention then would not have hesi-
tated a moment. would have voted the Demo-
cratic ticket, and think that the honest Demo-
Gratis should vote the Republican ticket 1t Is
not question Of party pledges 1t is question
of patriotism and the maintenance OF the Ma
tonal credit l think that the gold-standard
Democrats will realize the gravity OF the case.
| believe that they will see that by voting for
third candidate they will take away from the
Republican candidate margin OF strength that
he needs.
friend of mine asked a loud-mouthed but ig-
norant man why he was shouting so vocller-
ousy for free coinage. The man repned pc
cause II was a cure-all. When asked what ne
interpreted free coinage to mean. he declared
that it meant that one gold dollar would get
sixteen silver dollars and what II silver dollar
was worth only 80 cents; II would give
handsome margin at that deprecated value II
Is much like the man who wanted to call all or
the money in the world In and divide II up
among the people. and then he dilated upon
what eytravaGances he would inuulge III Wneh
asked what he would do after he spent all his
monev he replied in surprise Why call 1t all
in again That is the way with free coinage
II is Ignorance and under campaign or educa-
zion and q careful exploitation OF the truth the
craze will die away.
NATIONAL HONOR TO BE UPHELD.
michigan will not be found wanting at the
polls this fall. We already In the field
The cause Of National honor and protection Will
be upheld not only in my State. but also In all
the middle Western States that the free-coinage
men are claiming. | expect to see almost
revolution this fall when people have solved this
question for themselves. and the Chicago ticket
and the Chicago platform will be repudated In
way that will make a precedent. and the expert
ment Will never be tried again.
