M'KINLEY OR BRYAN.
Empire, Which VIII You
Vote Fort

Either Bryan or Mckinley will be
elected president the first Tuesday
after the first Monday of next month.
Either the republic or the empire will
be Endorsed.
If Bryan wins, it will mean the end
of a war of conquest for unholy greed.
If Mckinley wins it will mean that
that war will go on; that American
ideals will be repudiated; that nation
al faith will be betrayed; that the
rights of man will be denied; that the
Declaration OF Independence will be-
come a mere mockery; that the con-
stitution will be ignored; that polyg-
amy and slavery will be endorsed, and
that all for which we have stood and
of which we have boosted and of which
we have been honestly proud during a
hundred and twenty-five years of glori-
Gus national history will be put be-
hind us for a mean and ignoble ambi-
ton.
The citizen must choose. He may
affect to believe that there is some
other duty before him, but that of de-
Gliding between the republic and the
empire. But if he shall vote for any
other man than for Bryan he will vote
to strengthen the arm of Imperialism
and to cripple that of free government.
The issue cannot be lodged. It 10

citizen want?

must vote for Bryan.
