Attention Republicans.


Attention Republicans.
The democrats are pursuing the still
hunt policy and are doing their best to
get the republicans to scratch their
ticket in the local election Some of |
the democratic nominees and their
friends are personally soliciting repub.
licans to vote for them, claiming that
no political questions are involved in
the city election. Several of the can
didates are very active and make claims
that they will get large number OF |
complimentary republican votes and
thus be elected.
| wish to call the attention of the re
publicans to the result two years ago
when large number of misguided re-
publicans voted for Mr.. Kemming for
mayor as a compliment, and thereby |
gave the democratic mayor the right to |
appoint democrats as marshal land |
street commissioner, and practically
turned the entire city government over
to the democrats.
You will remember what a time Mr..
Kemming had in appointing marshal
ard street commissioner. Itwas claim
ed that the mayor wanted to appoint a
republican as marshal, who in turn
claimed that he had been promised the
appointment by Kemming but the
democratic leaders would not let the
mayor do so, and in consequence a
democratic marshal, Mr.. Rogge, was
appointed and a demo pop-silverite.
Jud Gary, as street commissioner, not
| withstanding the fact it was claimed
Kemming had promised the appoint
ments to other men.
The republican ticket this year is
first class in every respect. The nom.
inees are at least the equal of thei,
democratic contestants and there is no
valid reason why republican should
scratch his ticket and vote against any
candidate on his ticket.
If the democrats succeed in electing
Mr.. Wheeler and his associates on the
democratic ticket, it will be heralded
all over the state as Democratic
victory. kilograms will be sentsby our
local democratic chieftains like Gary
and others to the World Herald and
other democratic papers, who will print
it with glazing headlines, ''Denison,
the home of Governor Shaw, goes dem
ocratic," and our local democrats will
be laughing in their sleeves and chuck
ling with glee over the republican
suckers whom they succeed in
again deluding.
When are the republicans going to
come to their senses and stop pulling
chestnuts out of the fire for the demo-
cratic monkey? How many county Of
fees are the democrats giving to the re-
publicans in this democratic county?
There is not one republican holding a
county office at present in Crawford
county. The democrats have learned
to take their medicine straight. When
ever they are IN minority, as in Den
ison. they always talk to republicans
about being independent" but they do
not exercise this same independent
spirit and scratch their own ticket when
it comes to county matters where they
are in the majority. They cry,''Vote 'er
straight ''Why should democrats
elect republicans tc Officer" 'Stand by
your ticket.n Democrats, vote Ter
straight"
| Examine the files of the Bulletin, if
you will, for the past eight or ten years
just before the November elections and
you will find it filled to Overlooking
with this kind of advice. What is sauce
for the goose ought to be sauce for the
gander and if the republicans do not
exercise this same preregative, they are
exceedingly foolish. Every time a
democrat is put in Office, republicanism
is weakened accordingly.
1t any man on the republican ticket
is not tit for the office, vote against him,
but if, as is the fact in this case, they
are at least as good men as the demo
cratic nominees. it is the plain duty of
republicans to support their own ticket
from top to bottom. Every time you
vote for democrat and scratch re.
publican you thereby say that the dem
ocrat is better man than your party
candidate. Is this in fact true? Con.
slider we'll before you vote.
