DUNKARDS ARE FIRM
HIRED MALiGNER OF ROOSEVELT
REeUkED BY INDIANA MINISTER
Can stand War, Fisn., Flies, Frogs
and All the other Plaques of Phs-
-aoh, but Not Another Democratic
Administration.

At the opening Of the campaign the
Democratic managers asserted that
Friends, Dunkards aud members of 9th
er peace-loving Christian societies would
oppose Mr.. Roosevelt's election. lnves-
tgation showed the assertion to be I'M
true. Now the Democratic managers are
rcsorting TO despicable mems. in the
hope of winning q few votes. but are
meeting with merited rebuff-. W. j.
Showalter. who processes to be Dunk
ard. has been employed by the Democrat
ic committee to do its dirty work. Here
Is a sample OF the letters he Is sending
to Indiana Dunkards aud the KIND OF re-
plies he is receiving. The recipient OF
the letter quoted is preacher at Kappa.
Indiana. Showaltcr's letter follows:
Washington, II. c.. Sept. 10.
My Dear Sir enclose you a stamp
ed envelope In which ! want 10 ask you
TO he good enough to send me tue names
and addresses OF all tie male members
of your church who are over 81 years OF
age, or as many of them rs you can.
You will see by the enclosed slip inst
what President Roosevelt thiukS OF peo-
pie who profess the peace pg-ihciple. and
| simply want TO put the same thing IN
their hands so that II they vote al all
for him they can do 1t with their eyes
open. My people are all Dunkhrls. my
father being treasured OF the Old folhs'
Home at Timberville.
II trust that God will speed the day
when all mon will cspouse the peace

The reply sent by the Dunkard preach

what we would get from Parker.
You have thanked me in advance for

You a greater favor than you asked. I
will not send them. Their reply TO you

The following is an interesting illus
trailon OF the way Democrats say things
they don't believe. or the way they let
few of their members officially express
for them as collective whole views
that later on they can unOtilciaiIy and
individually repudiate.
The Democratic platform says: WE
DENOuNCE PROTECTIONISM AS
A ROBBERY or THE MANY TO
ENRICF THE FEW"
James ]. Walsh. chairman Of the
Democratic State Committee Of Connee-
ticut, says. according to Raymond" of

The st. Paul Pioneer Press, Sept. 81,
speaking of the National Irrigation Act,
said:
THAT Theodore Roosevelt was one of the
foremost to appreciate the benefits and that
society In Its finally successful appeal TO
Congress. is not the least Of his claims TO
setting apart OF the proceeds OF public lands

OF Irrigation works-H fund which comes
back to the government through the sale
Of the Irrigated lands at advanced prices as
the work progresses-has In the minds of
many given the final impetus needed 10

Nearly every american citizen who
will vote for President in the coming eiec-
ton will also vote for Representative
In Congress. II is TO be hoped that no
Republican will fail to vote Tor the Re-
publican candidate for Congress in bis

the public welfare demand the election Of
President Roosevelt. aud while the rea-
sons for his election are overwhelming
and unanswernble. those for the election

House Mr.. Roosevelt wonli he almost

Presidents Letter to Irrigation Com



The North Dakota Irrigation Congress,
in session at Mandan, Sept. ~. received
the following letter from President
Roosevelt:
Oyster Bay, n. Y. Sent. 1e-My Dear
MT. Williams: | am In receipt of your let
ter or the 18th Inst. Inviting me to he
present at the North Dakota State IrriEa-
tton Congress on the nth inst and wish
II were possible for me to he present but
regret to say II Is not. During the time OF
my presidency there has been no measure
in which / have taken keener interest
than that which started tho policy Of ma
tlonni aid to the cause Of Irrigation

smaller streams OF the States of the great
plains and Rocky Mountains for Irrigation
was even more Important to the future of
this country than the Improvement Of the
course OF these same rivers. lower down. as
an aid to navigation, and when ] became
President one OF the frst things to which
turned my attention was the effort to Sc
cure the passage Of the law which inaugu-
rated this system.
j congratulate the people of North Da-
kotn-indeed. congratulate the people Of
all the United States--upon the fact that
this work has begun. II will he of meal
culnble beneht to the people OF the semi
arid regions, and therefore TO the people OF
the whole country, for in this country
whatever benefits part Of II benefits all.
With best wishes. believe me. sincerely

Not all public men who are popular
enjoy public confidence in the same de
gree. People may say Of n public man;
II admire him for his brilliancy and re-
sourcefulness. but L am not sure that
his motives are altogether disinterested. :"
No person speaks that way Of Preri-
dent Roosevelt. People not only admire
his ability and resourcefulness, but they
have absolute confidence In his integrity.
II, the purity of his motives and In his
determination to administer the govern
ment in the interest OF the whole people.
That being the case, why not re-eieet
him and n Congress that will hold mp
his hands? Why vote to remove a tried
and faithful public servant or for a
Congressman who would try tn tie his
hands and embarrass his admini-tra-
tlon?

THEY WILL HAVE THEIR SAY.
The Plain People and Their Candid tc
for President.

1t is about time that the plain people
had their say; the farmers, mechanics,
railroad men. store-keepers, sailors,
teamsters and general workers all along
the line of American industrial life.
These men are tired Of the ceaseless
adultatlon given to the fortunate few,
tired Of the neglect in which the for
tunate many are left. The fortunate few
are the accumulators OF vast wealth and
corresponding houses, lands. and the APP
pearance of ease. The fortunate many
are the workers who live in comfort, but
do not have race horses, yachts or auto
mobiles to kill time. yet these last nam
ed fortunate men want to be heard In
the councils OF the nation They are de-
termined 10 have a President who re-
spects and cares for the plain people.
one who has declared and who has lived
up TO the declaration that EACH MAN,
No MATTER WHAT HIS OCCUPA-
TloN, HIS RACE, OR HIS RELI-
GIOUS BELIEF, is ENTITLED TO
BE TREATED ON HIS WORTH AS
A MAN. IN ANY AND ALL PLACES,
UNDER ANY AND ALL CONSIDER
ATIONS."
That is the kind Of democracy which
is real-not a name merely. 1t is the
democracy of the first citizen of the
United States, man born into the Re
publican party, consistent Republican
all his life and one who puts to shame
the injustice and inhumanity of the
party which calls itself Democratic"
This man of common sense, justice and
Christian brotherhood is Theodore Roose-
welt. our President now, and our Presi-
dent to be until 100S.
The plain people will have n chance
to speak out loudly early next November.
And they will give no uncertain sound
when their day comes. They will elect
their man by such majority as will
astonish the world.

RURAL FREE DELIVERY.
Republicans Alone Deserve Credit for
Inaururating the Service.

When Democrats assert that their
party Is the father" OF rural free de-
livery, they willfully misstate the facts.
II Is charity to call their assertion a
plain falsehood, for 1t is deliberate lie.
uttered with the Intention to deceive
many persons. Rural free delivery had
its origin under the Harrison admins
tration, and Postmaster General Wanna
maker was its father" lie proposed
and established the first experimental
route. When the Democrats came into
power. under President Cleveland, they
did everything possible to kill the rural
free delivery; in fact. they absolutely
refused to expcnd any of the $4,000
congressional appropriation for its nour-
ishment. and both Postmasters General
Bissell and Wilson. in their annual re-
ports, did their utmost TO discredit l..
President Cleveland also threw cold
water On 1t In n hostile message to Com
gress. When Mckinley became Presi-
dent. rural free delivery was pushed to
the front as n Republican policy. This
policy has been continued under Presi-
dent Roosevelt, until now there are
abont 27.JO0 routes In operation. No
farmer need be deceived by Democracy's
false claims, for the record shows that to
Republicans alone belongs the credit OF
inaugural ting and fostering a mail SER
vice that is OF incalculable benefit to
rural communities.

Democratic Legislation has never erect
ed a factory, or given a workingman a
job. or increased his wages. On the
contrary. it has put out factory fires
that Republican legislation had lighted.
it has closed mills that Republican legis-
lation had opened. and II has taken jobs
from thousands OF workingmen to whom
Republican legislation had given employ
ment. No American workingman owes
anything 10 the Democratic party.

The "muskrat preserve" on the shores

tract on which for two years the rats
have not been taken, but this year Will
liam Montgomery, superintendent of the
club grounds, and his assistants are daily
engaged in taking the rats. They have
already taken 5000 rats, in addition to
number of minks, and it is confidently
estimated that as many more will be
taken during the season. The revenue
to the club from this source is consid-
erable. as the muskrat skins bring 2B
cents each and their bodies sell on the
ground at the rate of three for 25 cents
