VOLUME xxxv1-No y
DEMOCRATIC ISLANDERS.


The Bulletin in it's last issue, in
startling head lines, says, "Money
Conquered Crawford County. Insur.
ance and Corporation Combines Man
age to Pull Out Enough Votes to VIM"
Following this is the statement, "Only
the Stay-At-Home Voters RESPONSE
ble."
Which horn of the dilemma will the
Bulletin take? 1t shouts fraud and
corruption in one breath and then lays
the blame to the stay.at-home demo.
Gratis. 1t claims that the democrats
lost $50 votes on account of the stay
at-homes. The Bulletin subtracted
the democratic vote of this year from
the democratic vote of last year, and
that number being about $50, claims
all OF them as stay at-home democrats.
The fact is that there were great
many changes and conversions since
1900, many old time democrats this
year voting the republican ticket. 1t
the returns from various precincts are
analysed, it will be discovered that the
proportion of stay-at-homes among the
republicans is about the same as of the
democrats. The Bulletin itself in it's
issue OF Nov. 7th, states, "The republic
cans were 81 votes shy in Denisn from
last year and the democrats were 40
votes shy. Net republican gain in this
city 3; not so bad for a Doodle year
either"
In another article in the same paper,
the Bulletin states, AN immense cam
paign fund of 100000 was dumped
into Crawford county to redeem it
from democratic rule and gain for the
legislature two men who will vote for
every insurance and corporation meas
ure proposed.
The REVIEW in its issue of week
ago, answered the Bulletins former
statements and claims that money was
being sent to this county by the cor
poratlons and insurance companies.
1t challenged the Bulletin to produce
a single item OF evidence to prove its
unfounded statements. 1t repeats it's
challenge. Not one dollar was brought
into this county or contributed, direct-
ly or indirectly, by any railroad, in
surance company or other corporation.
The claim that S3.000.0 90 was sent to
the county or that that sum was ex-
| pended by the republicans is absolute
| " false and ridiculous. The republi-
cans had no county officers from whom
they could levy contributions. The
limited sum that the republicans
raised for legitimate expenses. such as
hall rent, bands, printing and livery
hire, was contributed by volunteer re-,
publicans in small sums and no body
had to be bludgeoned as were the demo
cratic county officials, to contribute.
The REVIEW knows whereof it
speaks and the Bulletin knew its claims
were false when it made them, and we
repeat our challenge to the Bulletin
to produce one item of proof to sustain
any of its unfounded allegations.

readers are so gEllible that it can
make them believe that there has been
corruption in this county? If money
has been improperly used by the re-
publicans, prove it and have the MALE
factors punished. The Bulletin has no
proof. In its frenzy it shouts fraud in
order to mislead unthinking man.
The Bulletin and the ringsters have
been repudiated by the people of this
county and like the wolf in sleeps
clothing, it shouts fraud in order to
divert attention from itself and the
gang
