L
ceived 800 letters from different sections
of the state. saying that loan agents
are notifying mortgagers that in case
Bryan is elected they will promptly fore
close every mortgage as fast as it be-
comes due, and that insurance agents
say they viii cancel all policies in the
same event. -.
DIRTY WORK
THE letters state that in every town
ship in the state where the farmers are
heavily mortgaged, and where the silver
sentiment is strong, one of these agents
can be found. The Republicans have
made a careful poll of these townships
and know who have mortgages, when
they are due, how the mortgager intends
to vote, his nationality, whether ne can
be influenced, etc. This information is
given to the agent, so that he knows
how to work each person. Some he tells
that Bryan intends to demonetize gold,
and that there will be no gold with
which to pay gold mortgages. He tells
others that if Bryan is elected gold will
go to a premium, and that it will take
two silver dollars to get one gold dol
lar; and that, therefore, it will take
twice as many dollars to pay the mort
gage if Bryan is elected as it would if
Mckinley (Hanna) is elected.
PURE LOVE-
He pats the farmer on the back, and
tells him that nothing but pure love for
the farmer induces these banks, loan
companies and insurance companies to
call on him and warn him against dan
ger; that these companies are opposed to
any law that would compel the farmer
to pay them twice as many dollars as
he borrowed. Oh, you have no idea
how these soulless corporations love the
dear farmerl They are the greatest phil
antroDhists in the world. 1 fear that
Jesus made great mistake when he
drove the money chngers from the tenn
pie. He did not know them as well as
we do. you know. Ii Jesus should come
on earth today. and call for disciples to
follow him and preached his gospel of
charity and brotherly love, what a great
rush there would be from the banks, cor
porations and from Hanna's committee
to be his disciples"
THE EFFECT.
What effect do you think it will have
on the eleetion?''
''It will give the state to Bryan by a

A party that Will resort to such methods

What are you going to do TO coun-

Nothing but expose it. 1t will coun-
teract itself. There is enough manhood
left in the American people yet, be-
lieve. to bury 1000 fathoms deep any
party guilty of such an outrage. 1 have
seen so mucn corruption and intimidation
used by the Republican party in this
campaign that 1 believe that unless the
Republican party is defeated in this cam

why do you think sop
