II want to present another pqlase OF
the boiling question, and [ trust that
the boilers will be as dilgent in spread
ing my views upon the citizens right
to vote. I recognize the right CT any
man to vote IS he pleases and | have
never condemned a man who made his
vote represent his conscience and his
judgment, no matter where the vote
was placed. II in this campaign a
Democrat believes that he can serve

lican governor, l want him to do it,
don't believe however. that that is the
pest way to advance the principles OF
Democracy. | do not believe that in q
great contest like this you can afford
to withdraw your support from the
Democratic ticket
II would not deserve your confidence
II stayed in Nebraska anti allowed
poltlng Democrats TO play on my name !
II po!tlns Democrats want to vote forss
Republicans. for a Democrat put sup
in opposition to the regular nominee OF #

come boldly and state their real object
and not claim they are doing it to save

the boilers Of 1896 said they bolte,l ba

A GREAT CONTEST.
II know that the contest in which
we were engaged was a great contest
a contest where victory was so inpor-
tant to the great aggrega tons OF
wealth that they contributed to a cam
palgn fund the most magnificent ever
used in any campaign in the United
states Victory was SO important 10 \
them that they raised fund which
think | may safely say was larger
than all the campaign funds used BY
the Republican party from the day
that Fremont ran to the day when
Hanna took charge of the organization
