The Workmanship ON the banner is
all right, but the design is bad. The

side by side. The names are placed so
that Bryan's is underneath that OF
Stevenson's.
On one side of tine banner, the name
of the candidate for Vice President is
spelled "Stevnson," one Sc" having
been left out. Citizens generally regard
it as cheap looking affair. and not a
