We are drink the wine of the ages,
from cups that are trimming over
With the sweet of honey unbought with
money,
Distilled from the heart of the clover.
The flowers afringe on the way-side
Are In raiment Of purple and gold;
To the rough-hewn edge of the old stone
ledge
The clinging brier.vines hold.
We are breaking lfe's fine elixir
In the watt of the perfumed breeze,
The sudden showers. the suniit hours,
The rustic of leaves on the trees.
The fathomless blue of the heaven,
The beauty and bloom of the day.
Are making us young-they are waking the
tongue
OF the years that have passed away.
IT'S the radiant rare September,
With the clusters ripe on the vine,
With scents that mingle In spicy Jingle
On the hill slopes glimmering line.
And summers step behind us.
And nutumn's thought before,
And each fleet sweet day that we meet on
the way
Is an angel at the door.

Of upright men, and happiness smile again

Farmers of the United States! We

farmer boy is the coming man of business,
the coming financier, the coming states
man! Without such constant re-enforce-
ment our country would soon fall into
decay. You are now called upon TO vote

atmosphere of honesty. Only few years
ago, the citizens of this republic were
made TO pour forth blood and money, in
order that all our farms should remain
under one government, and in order that

to the principle that every child born on
these lands shall have even chance with
every other child to make the most of its
existence. Nav another crisis has forced
us into cruel loss, in order that we may
| retain the honor and credit of the country
we have saved While undergoing this
sncriiice. let MS consecrate our farms, our
Offices. and our homes to the common good
and give this republic new birth. In
such event. on the morning of the 4th day
Of next November. a brighter sunshine
will burst upon American farms than ever
fell before. On that day u new era of
prosperity will he inaugurated. which will
constantly unfold its blessings in orr

soon regain your property values which
Organism has destroyed, and on that
glorious morning rise with the sun ex-
| ultant In the happy thought that your chill
dren will grow up with better environ
ment of morals, and will finally receive a
larger Inheritance of national honor.
