The Bellefontaine Republican. [volume] (Bellefontaine, Logan County, Ohio) 1855-1905, 1901-10-25
DO YOU WANT
TO HELP
The Democratic Party?

If you do, vote the Democratic ticket. |
Don't be satisfied with voting only a
part of it.
If you want to help the Republican
party, vote the Republican ticket-all
of it. Don't sacrifice any part of it, to
please any Democrat, or any professed
Republican who intends to scratch his
ticket.
The Republican ticket was nominal
ed by the fairest merhods possible, and
it's nominees are the choice of the par
ty, and are entitled to its support. If
you have grievance, it is against the
party.
Some Republicans, we are told, are
going to scratch Harding; some, we
are told, will scratch Pool; some we are
told, will scratch Makemson. If the
friends of each candidate, should
scratch all other candidates, we would
have pretty state of affairs in the Re-
publican party, wouldn't we? And yet
that is just what every Republican
does, who decides to scratch any candi-
date on the ticket.
| The Democrats are encouraging just
this state of affairs in our party; they
know that that is the best way to de-
moralize our party. They don't care
anything about Pool, or Harding, OIL
Makemson, personally; they are doing
nothing to injure their private business
They want to defeat them because the,
are Republican candidates = for the
same reason that they want to defea
Foraker and Nash. They are striking
at the Republican party. And every
Republican who has thought of scratch
ing should see this.
There is perhaps.no man who secure
the nomination of all the men he want
on the ticket; but if he is good Re
publican he should accept the choice O
the majority of his party, and he vii
not be found consorting with the De
moeracy to beat any part of the Re
publican ticket.
Il Senator Harding and Mr.. Pool wer
fairly nominated, they are good Re
lpublicans, they will vote for Foraker 70
Senator, and they will vote against an
scheme, to district the State for Cor
gressmen, that will be in the interest
of the Democratic party. This canno
be said of the Democratic candidates
Mr.. MakemsOn was nominated at tn
Republican primary and received
majority of the votes cast. The Re
publicans of the county thus shove
their confidence in him. He will max
a capable official. He will make bel
ter Commissioner than the Democrat
candidate would. He has more expel
ience in business. He votes the Re
publican ticket and his opponent vote
| the Democratic ticket. His opponer
voted and worked for free trade an
free silver and hard times, and vote
for Bryan and against Mckinney, thu
showing that he isn't prodigy of wi
dom. But he is entitled to the vote
his party, and he ought to get it. Ar
fright there his career should end.
Vote the straight Republican ticke
if you are Republican, for this wi
mean the endorsement of Mckinley
policy; the endorsement of Roosevelt
the reelection of Foraker to the Senat
and Republican Congressional del
cation from Ohio, for the next te
Years.
II you are Republican, vote the r
publican ticket; and if you are not
Republican, as distinguished Repu'
: llican speaker, (now deceasedl used
say in all his speeches 'if ynu are not
Republican, you ought to be boz
= again"
