Which party was right?
Which party told the truth?

Nhlch party told the truth:
Last year the Demo-Pops of Kansas
said that if they were elected the
penitentiary coal mines would be
worked in the interest of free labor.
At this time. one in position to
know says:
Goal mined at the Kansas peni-
Tertiary is being sold in the open
market, and Populist officials
are travelling over this part of the
state near Leavenworth) selling it.
Penitentiary coal is now oeing put in
under contract at FIT. Leavenworth
and other government institutions
here, thereby knocking out free la Dor.
| The Pop officials are running the mine
with all the convictS they can crowd
down and dealers are supplied at 10
cents ton lower than from OTHER
mines.
Did the Demo-pops tell the truth?
Did they keep their promises?
The DemO-pop party does not stand
today in theUnited States nor in any
state for any agreed principle or thing
to be done. 1t stands today as three
card monte dealer and the bunco steer
er of American politics. willing to de-
ceive any voter for pie" or adopt any
doctrine for spofles. 1t is too wild to
make promise it can keep. ana too
foolish to explain one it has broken.
The Democrat party is an organic
ed appetite: the Populist party an
open mouth: the union, belly and Jaw
If you belong to it. why?
If you believe in it. what?
The Republican party stands today
for just what it did a year ago. It's
predictions have been fulfilled. Its
arguments have been verified. It's
promises have been kept. 1t stands
by its position on old issues. and
stands ready to meet new ones.
1t is the only political organization
now eXtant in this country which
stands for IL known doctrine and
policy.
If you belong to it, you know why.
If you believe i'll it. you know what.
Is there a DemC-POp speaker WHO
would today repeat in public Il speech
he rfade last year?
Is there Il Republican who would
not proudly repeat i'll public every
speech he made last year?
Do you judge the future by the
past: or do you rely upon Il political
fortune teller?
Republicans do net claim that Nc
Kinley'S election was the sole cause
for the high price Of wheat: neither
do they admit t!:;it Bryan's defeat
was the sole cause OF the famine and
war in India.
How are you going to vote? Why?

but because it is the only way you
can protect your own interests as a
tax payer. This matter has gone far
beyond the personal favor stage. The
letting of the county printing is only
one among many important consider
ations and HinShaw has shown that
he cannot be stampeded by any body
and has shown respect for the law
and the courts. No wonder Olson
fights him.

WHY?
Compare the Following Statements
of the Two Parties. 1t Will
Aid You In Deciding
the Question.

Let no one imagine that because
the election in Trego county is only
for county officers it is not of great
political Importance. There is more
involved than the mere question of
what particular men shall fill the
offices and draw the pay. We invite
the attention of every voter to the

Most wage rates are already lncreaS-
ing in many instances 10 per cent or
more.
Which party was right?
Which party told the truth?
The Demo-Pops said that the price
of wheat and the price of silver are
inseparable connected, and must rise
and fall together.
The Republican party declared that
price is controlled by the relation of
supply and demand; that as the de-
mand is relatively greater, the price
is higher.
Then, silver was 81 cents an ounce:
wheat was 81 cents per bushel.
Now, silver is 80 cents an ounce;
wheat is 81 per busheI.
Which party was right?
Which party told the truth?
The Demo-POpS said that if Mckin-
ley and gold standard triumphed, sill
yer money would at once be driven
out of use, no more would DE coined,
and no man could buy goods or pay a
debt except with gold. That this
would be the verdict of the jury in
the People vs.. the Gold Shylocks of
1873, which shylockS had driven the
peoples money from circulation-de-
monetiZed it.
Metallic money in circulation in the
United States:
In 1SI3-Gold, per capita, 1913; sill
yer, per capita, - cents.
In IS97-Goid, per capita, $50; sill
~ t.,l t.lll la.
money, S17.20 per capita.
Increase in metallic money in circu-
lation-Gold, 100 per cent; silver, 5S61
per cent.
The United States Government is
still coming millions of silver dollars
monthly; every one of them will pay
one hundred cents of any mans debt
Except by express contract to the
contrary or buy one hundred cents
worth of any mans goods.
Were the Demo-Pops rights?
Did they tell the truth2
Last year the fusion Moses. Bryan,
declared that if free silver did not
triumph. if he WAS not elected, the
people were forever enSlaved. and he
would be at once compelled to ''shut
the gates of mercy on mankind
Have you seen any new slave martS?
Have you heard the gates of mercy
clang?
Was the Demo Pop right?
Did he tell the truth?
Last year the Demo-Pops said to
the farmers. vote for us, that is the
only way for you to get more for your
products, wheat. corn, etc. and pay
less for what you buy, farm labor,
coal. manufactured articles. etc.
They said to the farm laborers. coal
miners, factory men: vote for us, that
is the only way TO get higher wages
that is to get the farmers to pay more
for the products or results of your
labor. Support Mckinley. and you
are ruined.
The Republicans said. these two
things are self contradictory: let us
join to support the protection of
American labor, American agriculture
and American trade. and we will
thereby secure the best advantages
for all. Support Mckinley and you
