asked by Mr. FaNou. The audience APP
parently interpreted Mr. E'uxon's actions
as Il desire to interrupt the rally, and

There are two issues. How does the

Soutt Hes whore there have been Re
publican quarrels. The Republicans
will endeavor tn countcract Br vans final
efforts in Chicago by a great outpouring
of speakers of their own party.
Senator Jones, chairman Of the Demo-
rratic national committee, speaking of
MIR. Croker's recent suggestion that
"Democratic voters Congregate about
the polling places on the evening of cleo
ton day count numbers, and then, if the
election returns for Bryan do not tally
with their count go into the polling
places and throw those fellows in
charge of the returns into the street
said: 81 don't see anything wrong with
that suggestion.
Senator Hill, I believe. suggested a
baseball bat as being peculiarly appro-
pirate to render justice to a corrupt cleo
tion judge. In my opinion. the best
way is for Democrats to be at the polls
when they are oponed and to remain
there in good. strong relays until the
count is completed. 1t should be the
duty OF these Democrats to watch the
judges and the count and TO see TO it
that no fraud is committed, and if any
fraud is attempted to stop it then and
thare.
"The Democratic party Is opposed to
violence, but at the same time feel war
rant ed in saying that the Democrats fully
intend to reap the fruits of their vic
tory. II intimidation is attempted at
the polls or fraudulent counting tried
by the election judges, there will be
Democrats in the vicinity ready to take
just such action as may be necessary
to stop it.
There will be neither intimidation at
the polls, ballotboX stulling nor fraudu-
lent counting this year. IL either Is
attempted it will be stopped then and
there. II anyone gets hurt in this pro-
cess of prevention I hope it will not be
