outs. No further explanation of it was
needed. Hundreds of meetings would
have furnished no additional light to the
voter on this issue. Nevertheless 1t Is an
important one, and the Republican voters

gets no encouragement from their fail
ure to go to the polls and vote for the Re-
publican candidates for Congress. AS re-
CARDS state issues the two parties are In
substantial agreement as to the kind OF
administration we ought to have. They
both believe that it ought to be honest,
economical and efficient. The only ques'
tion is whether the Republican or the
Democratic party is the more capable OF
making it so. And on this question the
voter, who is posted on the history of the
state does not need much enlightenment.
II he is at all familiar with the results
of our experiments we have made with
Democratic administrations he ought to
be able to see that his duty is to go to the
polls and help avert the making of any
more in that direction.

Representative Wadsworth who was in

1t is Just as much the duty of the voter
to go to the polls on election day after
a quiet campaign as after noisy one.
The Importance of the results pending
at the coming election are just as great
as If there had been the usual number
of rallies and the usual amount of discus
sion. Political discussion is for the pur-
pose Of explaining the questions at issue,
but they were SO clear in this election
that no explanation was needed. The
Democratic party in this state stands
committed to free silver, and the elertion
of Democratic congressman would be in
terpreted as triumph for free silver.
