REPUBLICANS, STAND BIZ your GYMS.

close and in 9 few more days the peo-
pie will do little silent talking. The
country will of course abide by the re-
suit. The will Of. the people is a
mighty mandate that brooks no CON
troll nor influence and with our present
method of voting under a law that
guards the rights and privileges of the
voter election results come very nearly
being true expression of the people.
The campaign in the State has been
a very quiet one in some respects, but
nevertheless there has been a lot of
work done by the campaign commit
tees. The voters have heard the is
sues discussed and have perhaps read
some of the campaign literature pro
and con, though there has been prac-
tically nothing that the opposition
could say against the present status of
the country or. the Republican party
both in the nation and State. Some
would have the people believe that the
present prosperous condition of the
country is not the result of Republican
legislation, and are of the opinion that
it just happened to be so. It is very
true that natural laws have much to do
in shaping conditions. Continuous
rain, drought, storms, etc., affect the
crops which in turn affect the rail-
roads, the merchants and the laboring
man. But such conditions are local as
a rule, though any great injury to the
corn belt, or the wheat belt, or damage
to staple products on which trade gen.
orally relies seriously affects business
conditions. But political parties and
platforms where given practical DEM
onstration generally injure or benefit
the, whole country. The dark days of
'93 which continued for a few years
were not the result of natural but of
unnatural laws framed and put into
execution by the Democratic party.
Every man, woman and child can re-
cite gloomy chapter of those days.
The Democratic theory of political
government resulted in veritable
plague which affected the whole coun-
try. Nature in some of its freakish
moods, will bring ruin and desolation
for time, but it turns around and
blesses mankind with some kind of a
recompense in due time. But not so
with the Democratic party. It kept
on plunging the country into ruin and
disaster and the people had to wait un-
til a presidential election when thew
restored the Republican party to power
and William Mckinley and Republic
can congress gave the Ameaican work
shop and the American field preference
over foreign laborers and producers.
Business revived at once and has kept
on reviving. The protective system
may have few defects, but as a whole
it is mighty fulcrum that sustains the
American lever of commercial suprem-
ucy that is setting the pace for the rest
of the world. The Republican policy
is leader and not a follower. 1t has
made US prosperous and will continue
to do so. >:..
Then why should a single voter cast
his ballot for a single candidate who in
any way is identified with the Demo
cratic party. Do not trust them be-
cause they are removed several gener-
ations from the parent stock for the
further they are removed the worse
they appear to get Vote for Republic
can candidates if you believe them
straight and honest. It is highly es-
sential that the Republican party of
the State should be given good strong
endorsement and that the whole ticket
should be elected from Gov. Van SAINT
to the bottom. When you trifle with
the State ticket you are endangering
the cause Of the party as a national
body and placing in the hands of the
opposition certain amount of infu-
ence. Do not do it. Stand firm and
let no amount of campaign literature
paid for from a corruption fund influ-
ence you in the matter. The Republi-
can State ticket is worthy of your sup
port. The congressional ticket is rep
resented by a man who is in every way
deserving of your support. J. Adam
Bede has been before the public for
several years as an earnest advocate of
Republican principles and has a ma
tional reputation as campaign speak
err. He is fullv abreast Of tho tiros
