The silver messenger. (Challis, Idaho) 1890-1912, 1896-09-15

SHJer the pOlljnS DOObDS on eleC-
ton day, cast their ballots for
Bryan and Sewall. 1t must not
be supposed, however, that all
corporations in the country are
trying to intimidate their work
men and force them to vote con-
trary to their wishes, because
there ore not few which realize
that to pursue such a course
would be unwise and result in
more harm than good. For in
stance, there is a corporation in
Easton, Pa, which posted the
following bulletin, for the infor-
nation of its employees
To the Employees OF the Chester Slate Co.
Dear Sir-As intelligent men yet are capable
Of forming your own judgment as to how you
should cast your ballots at the coming election.
The company takes this opportunity of saying
without any fear or favor. No man in our EN-
ploy will ever lese his job because he chooses
to exercise the rights 0f an American citizen.

Such a notice as the above will
do more to induce employees to
vote with their employers than

his corporation friends is that
they cannot be made to look at
the matter in that light, so they
are going ahead making votes
for Bryan.

to pay debts of state, counties
and cities, incurred when none,

of our western states, who ar
producers reduced to the condi
