The Fusionists following their
usual custom, have selected one or
two men on their ticket who are to be
preferred candidates, and tbe rest Of
their ticket ia to be sacrificed in the
hope Of pulling these through by Re-
publican votes. Every effort will be
made by the Democrats to elect these
candidates and they are willing to
trade of the rest Of the ticket for
their benefit. 1t Is unnecessary to
remind the Republicans thst this
scheme cannot be successful without
theiy aid. In order for the Democrats
to elect . single candidate on their
ticket, they must have Republican
votes. The most dangerous doctrine
that can be preached Is that the party
does not need your vote and that one
vote more or less doesn't count. Ev-
sry man on the Republican ticket is
entitled to the vote Of every Republi-
can in the county, and should have
them. With the exception Of three
candidates every man on the Demo
cratic ticket is trading stock. Don't
do it. The Democrats know there is
no hope for their candidates except
through deal with individual Re-
publican voters and this they are at
tempting to make. The Republican
ticket is certain Of election and every
candidate on it should run neck and
neck, and will do it II the Republican
voters do not allow themselves to be
made the victims Of Democratic
scheme.

Do ws Condemn o. Approve,


Do We Condemn o. Approvsi
Here is the question which every
one Of the Dickinson county voters
must answer at the polls next Tues
day:
Do We've sovereign citizens
each one standing up Is straight as
man and speaking for himself
denim or approve the conduct Of Theo-
dore Roosevelt!
We have seen our president firmly
resisting, in our interest. the most
powerful combination Of wealth in
the world.
We have sean him going straight
forward, cautiously but resolutely, to
q solution Of the trust problem that
will preserve to US the full benefits Of
great enterprises, but will avert their
evils.
We have seen him, within the last
few days, put peaceful and honor
able end to most dangerous indus
trial war, save Us all from the dis.
tress Of q coal famine and prevent
the evils which We know as hard
times.
Do we approve or do we condemn
the conduct Of Theodore Roosevelt
In these mattersP
To that question there can be but
one answer. His conduct was and
is, as we all know, in our interest as
a people. He upheld the personal
interest Of practically every one OF
us. We approve!
But to show our approval we must
do certain things. We must veto
for members Of congress who are
with the president-whom he trusts,
and who will support bis policies
our policiss-and hold up bis hands.
Every vote for W. A. Calderhead
for congress or Emil Grosser for
representative (who will help elect q
Republican U. s. senstof) next Tues.
day will bs q vote Of confidence in
Theodore Roosevelt-a vote for ap.
proval Of bis conduct.
Every vote for Shearer for congress
or W. 7. Harris for representative
(who will help elect . Demo-Pop as
U. s. seustor) next Tuesday will be q
vote Of no confidence in Theodore
Roosevelt vote OF condemnation Of
his conduct.
No matter how any one Of US
may feel personally toward the
Republican candidate in bis dis.
trict, he must vote for him or vote
no confidence in Theodore Roosevelt.
Do we condemn or approve the
acts Of Theodore ROOSEVELT That Is
the question each OF us must answer
at the polls next Tuesday.

The Fusionists are preparing all
sorts Of schemes to gain advantage
on the eve Of election. Voters may
expect to see the county flooded with
pretended extracts from the tax bill;
they may expect assertions that

known that be does not and has
fought such bills heretofore and will
do it again. They may expect any
kind OF falsehoods about Grosser

subscribers. He will try to crawl
out Of bis responsibility but hs can't.
There will be false information on
the ballot. There is just one way to
vote 1t and feel sure 1t is right. Alb.
ilens voters will receive two ballots,
one with the ticket aud one with the
amendments. Make q cross In the
circle under the eagle on the ticket
ballot. Mark the Eyes" or the "no"
on the amendment ballot, then quit.
In the townships another ballot will
be given having the township ticket.
Mark that also In the circle under the
eagle and quit. When you have done
this and nothing else-don't mark in
a square opposite any name-fold up
your ballots and leave the booth.
One-hali minute is enough to vote.
Campaign ialsehoods on the eve Of
election are disreputable. Let the
Republicans show the opposition that
they do not believe in bushwhacking
and that they propose once for all to
clean the slate.
