The Issues OF this campaign are now fully made
up The tickets have been nominated and the
people will render their verdict In November.
democracy stands by its record. and promises a
continuance OF honest, able and progressive ad-
ministration of State AFFAIRS. We have no apol-
campaign. TO be fought out largely upon State is
sues Denocracy's strength alone with proper
organization, is ample to secure decisive VIC
tory. ,,,,
assaults upon the good name of the state by Re
Republican party to aid in giving US tidal
wave victory. The interests of the Republican
masses are the same interests. Republic
ans are fully identified with every industry of
the State. We proud to acknowledge them
as enterprising and progressive citizens: We ask
and rebuke the Republican leadership. which, In
the unworthy effort to secure mere partisan ad-
vantage, hesitates not to dishonor this Com
monwealth.
It seems unnecessary. in view Of the issues. to
appeal to the Democratic hosts of Missouri The
proud record of Missouri Democracy In the ad-
ministration of State affairs and her enviable
relation to the national Democracy: should bring
every Democratic voter to the polls on election
dav thorough organization and a full vote
will insure a sweeping Democratic victory Ev-
ery Democrat should perform his whole duty, and
thus silence forever the Republican campaign Of
abuse and Misrepresentation.
