never heard one good word spoken of a
Democrat by minister Of the Gospel
while republicans were lauded right into

education through it's columns. Don't
try to crowd four years work into one

My father cast his first vote for
Andrew Jackson; mis- last for Grover
Cleveland. My husband also cast his last
vote for Cleveland. In four years more
my boys will cast their first vote. May
God so watch over this republic that
young Democrats may not be compelled
to vote at the point of the bayoaet
backed by standing army.
