fiourished ard fattened on Demo

1t is his ticket, it is his hope. He is
praying for it In his attack upon
the United States his allies are the
anti-expansionists especially the
Democratic party"
Vote to support your country and
it's war. Vote against Aguinaldo
aud all the Aguinaldians from Bos.

disregard of It's own interests, the
