come Int existence for the purpose Of
purifying the politics" of this COM
munity. The democratic party Is not
engaged In the low business of trying
to pull of candidates from other tick
cts. either by bribery or cajolery or by
threats. The democratic party In not
shopping around buying up labor lead
ers- and getting them to work their
unions in the interests OF the ticket.
All that kind Of work rs being dom by
the Clark purifaction party. Not one
dollar has been used by the democrats
except for the legitimate expenses OF
the campaign. and not one dollar will
be expended by the democrats for dis
honest purposes or for corruptins vot-
ers. The democrats are standing on a
platform. not OF a barrel. They go be-
fore the people of Silver Bow with a
ticket that needs no apology. Every
man on II is a silver man. and every
man on II Is a good democrat. The
platform is a silver platform and the
C~lark-fustonists are not for silver.

he is willing to give a big portion Of his
wealth for the senatorship. The money
is there for those who want to be
bribed. SO, rally round the barrel.
boys. It's all the platform the Clark
ticket has; it's all it represents. Rally
round the barrel.
1t may be your last chance. For
when Clark is beaten he will go back to
until the next senatorial fight.
How different is the position OF the
democratic party. 1t has an honest
ticket and IN honest platform. The
ticket n the platform appeal to all
honest voters, for they can vote the
ticket without hanging their heads in
shame. There is not a man placed N

an intelligent and upright citizen. well
qualified to I'LL the position for which
he is nominated. and who will perform
the duties Of the ONCE conscientiously.

hire campaign orators that pass in the
night to help out the candidates in ad-
vocating their election. Men OF repu-

are proud to speak for democracy and
silver. n there Is as much difference
in the standing of the campaign ora
tors Of the respective parties as there
is in the personnel of the respective
tickets and the planks of the respective
platforms.
