are going to have a perfect landslide
down here in favor of the Republican
party. The reason is very plain. The
people are becoming interested in the
outcome of this campaign. They
are interested to the extent of
sending a message direct East
telling them there that we out here will
redeem ourselves of that calamity Of

party, and show that we are in favor

Home Rulers and ignoramuses.

until the close of the polls. We can do
much, my friends we can all do much.

your country, and I am satisfied that

Mr.. Holstein aroused enthusiasm on
