Democrats! Turn Out and vote!!

Encouraging reports come from all
parts of the state. Democrats are
working harmoniously and there is a
strong revolt in the Republican party
against trusts and the empire.
Germans and all foreigners who know
what an empire and Imperialism means
sustained by Il great standing army
will not support the Republican candi-
dates, pledged to the trusts, imperial
ism and standing army stationed in
every state. Encouraging word comes
from Ohio and Kentucky. Nebraska,
the Republicans concede to the Demo-
Gratis. IL Democrats 60 to the polls
and vote, it is more than possible to
elect the entire democratic state
ticket, and elect a legislature which
will send to the United States Senate,
a man who will represent the people
of Iowa, instead of the stock holders
in one on the other lines of railway
supporting Gear or CumminS. In this
county the prospect for the election of
the Democratic ticket was never more
favorable. In jamestown dozen re-
publican farmers have sold out and
gone, their places being occupied by
democrats. In Chester about 80 re-
puhlicans have moved away, the new
eomers not being voters because of too
short a residence in the state. These
facts should prompt every democrat
to be at the polls early and cast his
ballot against the trusts, against
imperialism and standing army to
"harrass the people and eat out their
substance"
Turn out and register your vote for
the democratic state ticket, and also
for G. H. Wallace, for representative:
for A. G. Campbell, for sheriff: for
A. R. McCook, for superintendent;
for Rufus Seavy, for supervisor in the
3rd district; and for DR.. G. d. Roome,
for coroner. This duty done you will
have clear conscience of having done
ii noble and patriotic duty for the
state.
