Fourth District, remember that it
will be their fault if the district is
not carried by George 1. Neal this

than Republicans in the District,
and that ought to insure the cleo
ton of Democratic congressman
even if we should not draw some
votes from the Republicans, who
are tired of living on confidence"
and false promises.

We would impress upon the
minds of Democrats that political
success cannot be won without or
ganization. Therefore it behooves
the Democrats of this county to
organize. That work should be
commenced at once, and prose-
cuted to completion. With a
thorough organization and faithful
work on the part of the Demo-
Gratis, we can elect the entire Dem
ocratic ticket in the county this
fall. Keep this in mind, Democrats.
