A STILL HUNT.
Democratic Committees Con-
fdential Letter.
CHAIRMAN HuFFMAN's CIRCULAR.

He Sends 1t to All His Workers Telling
Them That They Must "worlS! Work
Work!'' and He Promises Them If Ther
Do the Entire Democratic Ticket Will
Be Elected Republicans Must Meet
This Democratic Still Hunt and See That
Every Republican Vote Is Polled Nov. Z.
The Democrats are making strong
er effort than ever this year to get out
full vote. They have better or
ganization in many of the counties of
the state than they have ever had be-
fore. AS has frequently been stated,
1t is the policy of their committee to
try to get out as large vote as posi-
bic in the hope that the Republican
majority may be cut down.
In case the majority for Governor
Shaw over Fred White falls below %
600 every Democratic paper in the
United States will contain a special
dispatch from Iowa the day after cleo
ton claiming a grand Democratic vic
tory" and it will be taken as an in
dorsement OF Bryan, free silver and ali
the anti-adminiStration fabrications of
which the Democratic party has been
guilty in this campaign. Fred White
has said the volunteer soldiers who
supported the administration and en-
deaYored to aid in the suppression of
the Philippine Instruction, are ty-
rants. Ii Iowa does not do it's duty on
Nov. it will be taken as a most en-
platte Endorsement of Fred Whites
charges, for the reason that Iowa has
one of the bravest and best volunteer
regiments that took part in the Phil
lpplne war. Ii for no other reason than
because Democratic victory would
discredit the deeds of these boys, every
loyal citizen of Iowa should vote
against Fred White
On Oct. 23 Chairman Huffman of the
Democratic state central committee is
sued confidential circular to the
Democratic workers throughout the
state. This circular, after giving a
number of unfounded reasons why the
committee hoped that the full Demo
cratic vote would be polled this year
. Id Fred White would be elected, in
structs the Democratic workers as to
what the committee expects them to
do during the closing days of the
campaign. This part of the circular
is so important as showing what the
Democrats propose to do that we quote
it in full:
"The Democratic committee appeals
to you now, as you love your party
and it's principles, as you desire it's
victory at the polls this fall, to leave
nothing undone to poll every Demo-
cratic vote in your county. If that is
accomplished, it means beyond shad-
ow of doubt the election of our whole
ticket. Leave not a vote at home on
election day. Organize thorough for
that purpose. Leave at each polling
place vehicles to bring out the Demo
cratic vote. Leave not single point
uncovered. Talk to and inspire your
Democratic neighbors. Arouse their in
terest in success. Secure their aid in
this work. From now you can afford
to talk of nothing but the Importance
of this election and this work. Call the
attention of the German Republicans
to the facts above stated, showing the
lack of recognition of them by the
Republican party. Contrast it with
that of the Democratic party. Get
their votes. Urge the farmers to vote
for an old soldier. Ask the small bust
ness men whether they can afford to
elect the advocate of trusts and the de-
partment store. Work! work! work!
from now to the night of election. Give
your entire time on election day and
get others to help you.
"The above is your duty. If you per-
form it the election of your ticket is
assured. Upon you must now rest the
responsibility"
Every Republican in Iowa should
read this and see that the Democrats
are at work. 1t will not do for the
Republicans to be caught mapping.
They must work! Get out the vote!
Let no one who votes the Republican
ticket stay at home on election day!
The people understand the issues
that are before them this year and the
Republican ticket will have an over
whelming majority If the people will
do their duty and get out and vote.
