DEMOCRATS, BE TRUE.

We reproduce the following excel
lent article from the Elko Independent
on account of it's good sense and giving
advice which should be needed.
C. d. Van Duzer, the fusion candi-
date for Congress, represents the prin-
c.ples of the national Democracy and
his vote in Congress will be In har-
mony with them. E. S. Harrington, his
opponent, represents the principles of
the national Republican party and, "
elected, his votes will be line with the
principles and policies of that party.
That this is a correct statement of the
positions of the two candidates for
Congress there can ue no question.
Both are strong party men and each
believes in the principles of the party
to which he belongs.
The personality of the candidates
should cut no figure with Democrats.
Mr.. Van Duzer is the equal of his op
ponent in ability and manhood and his
S"PSiioi IL 4cSioiaeiNc oApciicHCc anu
training. But above and beyond all,
he represents the principles of De-
mocracy, while Harrington opposes
those principles. Van Duzer Is a fol-
lower of William j. Bryan and Far
rington of Marcus A. Hanna. The
principles advocated by Bryan and
those advocated by Hanna are as diff

One of the most discourteous tricks
perpetrated by the Republican party

was to refuse John Sparks, Prof. John

candidates the privilege of speaking
there, and they were compelle tdo post

Ga, is from the darkest night. The
former champions the cause of the
common people and the latter that of
la vless wealth. A vote then for Van
Dlzer is an endorsement of Bryan
and a vote for harrington an endorse
ment of Hanna.
There is no escape from this dilemma
for Dem, Gratis. Personal p~rejudices
and friendships weigh as nothing

afford to sacrifice the principles Ut
