MAKE NO MISTAKE.

The following forcible article from
the Democratic Advocate, published
nv the Vanderford Bros. Of Westmln-
ster, Md, is worthy the attention OF
voters:
The voter who would avoid for
eien war. will take no chances and
vote for Parker and Davis.
The voter who would keep this gov
ernnent aloof from foreign entangle-
ments, as advised by General Wash
ington, will avoid all risks and vote
for Parker and Davis.
Tho voter who is opposed to ex'
trayagance and wants an efficient and
honest public service cannot consist
emily withhold his vote from Parker
and Davis.
The voter who desires republican
form of government, as established by
Washington, Jefferson, Adams and
other patriots, will avoid imperialism
by voting against Roosevelt.
The voter who is opposed to tariff
taxation laid in the interest of the few
to the detriment of the many, must OF
necessity vote for Parker and Davis.
The voter who is opposed to pay
inc tribute to the trusts, who charge
the citizens of this country more for
their goods than they sell item for
will vote Parker and Davis.
This is time for calm considera-
ton of the issues of the campaign. A
time for conscientious judgment of
what is best for the peace, prosperity
and happiness of the country.
A time to lay aside party predilec-
tions and partisanship and determine
ones duty. Do not vote the Repub-
ican ticket because you have done so
in the past. The party management
is in different hands. 1t is dominated
by Roosevelt, and its policy is Roose-
veltian not Republican. Judge Ed
munds reti1 ed from the Senate, be-
cause he could not agree with the pol
icy of those controlling the party, and
Thomas B. Reed left the post of
Speaker of the House of Representa-
tives for the same reason. Senator
Hoar, who died last week, disagreed
with the Republican managers in re-
gard to the Philippine policy and the
tariff. The New York Herald, the
World, the Times, the Philadelphia
Ledger, the Boston Post, the Balti-
more Sun, News and Herald, who
supported Mckinley, are now sup
porting Parker because Roosevelt is
regarded uncertain and unsafe, his
policies unwise and because his cleo
ton would retard progress and the
peace of the country always be IN
jeopardy; and further because he has
denied all his former views and opln-
ions by becoming a believer in the pol
icy of high taxation in the interest OF
trusts, partner in extravagant ex-
penditures of the public money, a
spokesman, Notwithstanding his former
ardent advocacy of reform in the civil
service, and because of his imperial
tendencies.
This is a time for the display of pa
triotism not of partisanship; a time
tor all good citizens to thoroughly con-
slider their duty before casting their
ballots. Mistakes are not easily cor
rected.
