that their lives have been failures. The
tendency OF such men is to revert to the
ideas Of savagery. This is 4 recognized

Rogers and his fellow-Populists may be
superior to such considerations. They will
tell you that they have no use for Cap

would be found that In most cases this
frame Of mind was preceded by the un-

want all the capital brought into the state
that can be got. and they are not going
to hang out yellow dag in the shape Of

which prevailed before you went TO the
polls In the last presidential election. You
viii remember that there was employment
for everybody at good wages then. while
there Is employment for but few at re-
duced wages now. Then reflect whether

AN APPEAL TO GOOD CITIZENS.

Ifevery sound money man votes for Mckinley
tomorrow the Republican ticket will carry the
state of Washington by over 5000 majority
The canvass shows that those who believe in
honest finance in the majority. an d if their
votes arc concentrated the heresy of the year
will be overwhelmed utterly
Every man who believes in the constitution.
has faith in our institutions respects the law and
those who interpret it. desires order and good
government and wants the national name and
credit to remain unimpaired will vote for the
Mckinley electors even though he may not
subscribe to all the principles of the Republican
party.
This is crisis and something must be sacri-
feed if the country is to come out of the con-
test with its honor unsullied. and the reputation
OF its citizens above reproach
For the sake OF the nation and the state do
not waste your vote. The contest is between
the candidate Of sound money and the pros
perity which will always follow honest methods
OF business and the candidate who favors de-
based currency and the most of the Populistic
theories which would bring decentralization and
wreck if put into law.
Every man who believes in the state of
Washington and has hopes for its future will
assist in supporting the cause of good govern
ment. and just at this time he can do it only by
voting for William Mckinley for president.
Let the world know that this state does not
believe in Populism. The people here will show
that they do not believe in it if they vote for
, Mckinley electors
