STATE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE.
ADDRESS TO VOTERS.

In order that the Democratic party,
of which we are constituted the high
est Representatives in an executive ca
pacity, may maintain the prestige
which it has in tie State, " the
election of its candidates to be voted
for in the August and November cleo
tions, it is absolutely necessary that
the loyal rank and file of the party
render such assistance to the Demo-
cratic Executive Committee as in ev-
cry way lies within their power, and
it is, perhaps, unnecessary to say to
such loyal Democrats that wherever
and whenever the party, through it's
ancient and representative forms have
selected its standard bearers for the
various offices named, from Governor
Supreme Judges, Chancellor, Circuit
Judges and District Attorneys, ETC.,
down to the local county Judges, that
such nominees should be supported by
the voters at the polls in every way.
A failure to do so loosens the ties
which bind the individual voter to
his party and its organization; tends
to place the self-interest of independ-
ent candidates and their friends above
the bl DAD interests of the party; tends
to invite combinations with the Rs
publicans hostile to the interests of
the Democratic nominees and to the
Democratic organization, and hence
the best interests oI the State.
Therefore, the State Democratic
Executive Committee, by virtue of
the authority vested in it by the Dem
ocratic party of the State, calls unon
all loyal Democratic voters in every
part of the State to earnestly and ac-
lively vote for and aid in every way
the election of the nominees of the
Democratic party; suggesting to ali
loyal Democrats that the only safety
to the party, to which they belong
rests in their adhesion to its oroaniz3.
ton and devotion to its rrincinles
l he committee also suggests to- All
Loyal Democrats and workers through-
out the State, that the measure of
their influence and loyalty to the
Democratic party, its Organization
and principles, is indicated by their
zeal, fidelity and unselfishness to the
nominees of the Democratic partv-S
1t is further suggested, and x n
well-knoWn fact, that the defe ~
any Democratic nominee at th9/An-
gust election, impairs the strendfh of
the organization and gives eucC rage-
ment to its enemies in the contests of
Governor, Railroad Commissioner and
members of the General Assembly and
Congressman, in the lection to be-
held in November, as also in futnre
contests, and for these sreasons the
Democrats of the State NE earnestly
urged to give their unqualified snn.
port to the party nominees.
With loyal Democrats EVERYWHERE
on guard, the Democratic nomineaS
will be elected in August throuphont
the State, and the effect of such ac-
tion on the November election will he
of incalculable benefit and will mt
such life into the organization every
where as will surely result in the tri.
umphant election of our candidates in
November by increased maioritias
