TO REACH THE PEOPLE.

The executive committee Of the Demo-
recognizes that in this campaign as in
1898 the press must educate the people
must remove doubts. and make straight
the paths for the orators who are to fol-
low. They were in conference yester
day with State Chairman Simmons con-
sulting as to the best sort of campaign
literature and the best method of reach
ing the people Plans were perfected
by which the falsehoods disseminated
answered and the answer put into the
hands of the voters.
There is but one thing necessary for
the Democrats to win this year by q
large majority, and that is to reach the
people with the truth. Some one once
said Fight the devil with fire. A
philosopher said, Not so. Fire is the
devils own weapon. He can use it bet
ter than any opponent. Fight the devil
with Truth. He knows nothing about
that weapon and you will have jiim at
IA disadvantage from the start
The Democratic press and speakers
need only to reach the people with the
truth about the amendment to secure
for it the support of every white man IN
the State who desires permanent Waite
Supremacy.
