The instructions sent out by the Re
publican Joint Executive Committee
and printed in another column are
timely, and should be read carefully
and needed by every Republican voter.
With 1929 men registered in this
city; with 26,625 on the books in the
entire county and with the Republi-
cans far in the lead on the registra-
tion, the Democrats will stop at moth
ing to rob Republicans Of their votes.
They have the election machinery in
their hands, and dtheinclination to use it.
Every Republican voter should exercise
great diligence in preparing and cast
ing his ballot, and when the count is
being made the Republican leaders in
each election district should impress
upon the Democrats that rascality will
not be tolerated for an instant, and
that the count must represent the pop
ular will. and not the nefarious work
Of the Democratic machine.

The Party of the People.

The democratic party IS neither q party of monopoly nor q party of social ism or communism. but in cOntradic- tion to these irrational extremes, 1t is party of liberty, party that bids the individual do all he can for him self, make the most of his ppportuni- ties but neither plunder another nor lay straw across the path of another that would abridge bis liberties or opportunities as freeman. The dem Ocratic party believes that each indi- vidual has a right to the possession and enjoyment of all the property that he can acquire honestly through his own efforts and through associating his efforts with that of others in 80 far as it may be done without creating monopoly. It believes in free compe- tition. But it is jealous of powers created by legislation and conferred upon corporations, and would place such limitations upon this power that it could not be used to create monopo- lies which would be inimicable 10 the welfare of individuals. The demo- cratic party is the only great party in the United States today that upholds the principles of the Declaration of Independence and maintains the bind- ing force of the Constitution. The republican party has fallen into the hands of the money kings and monop- plies. the leaders of which today flout the idea that the rank and file of the party have any principles that are sa, red or possess the ability to call the leaders to account.
