You cannot have more than two extra

You are not allowed to carry away a

Before leaving the voting compartment
fold your ballot in the same way it was
folded when you received it, So that the
contents of the ballot shall be concealed

exposing the contents of the ballot, and
keep the same so folded until you have
voted. Then approach the judge having
the ballot box in charge, and give your
name, and hand your ballot to him, who
will remove the duplicate stub from such
ballot, if identified by the initial thereon;
he will then return the ballot to the vo-
ter, who shall deposit the same in the
ballot box with the official endorsement

ately leave the space within the guard
rail.

rail more than ten minutes, and in case

ers waiting, you are allowed only five (5)
minutes at the voting shelf.

Full Dinner Pail Boo,nerang.

That full dinner pail" is proving a
boomerang for the Republicans. They
are beginning to wish they had not SHE'D
it at the Democrats because it is coming
back again filed with dornicks. The
laboring man has been doing some figur-
ing anent the full dinner pail, and he
has found that both pail and contents
are harder TO get because more expensive
than they were four years ago. The
reason the tin dinner pail, Gnd the food
that the thrifty housewife packs into it
each morning, have increased in price is
because the trusts, fostercd by Rcpub.
Icon administration, have COTTON control
of them. AT the same time the trusts,
instead of employing more men at in
creased wages, have dismissed thousands
OF men and reduced the wages OF other
thousands. The laboring man, after in
vestigating all these things, has come to
the conclusion that il he has full din.
ner pail he is not indebted to the Repub.
lican administration for it, and il he
wants to continue to have full dinner
pail he will have to help elect W. j.
Bryan, the candidate Of the party which
is opposed TO trusts.

Bryan's political enemies say he is a

tration. Prates against the right OF
conquest as il the great Captains Of
conquest, CAESAR, Alexander and the
Spanish Pizarrc were not the bencfac

his great hobby is an impeachment Of
the Republican party for its violation OF
the Declaration OF Independence in the
Philippines, ignoring that this ANCIENT
and OBSOLETE document was promul-
gated on the ith Of July, One Hundred
and Twenty. -Four years age. They say
he is neither statesman or politician, for
he insists in espousing the cause Of the
masses, not the classes; Country, not
party He resembles in this and other
respects the "Rail,splitter" President of

that the plan has proved abortive,
