/ cdQQlQdIeS themselves, ana IL the
committee learned that any candi-
date was guilty of any such unfair
means, to declare him unfit and in
eligible to fill the place as nomi-
nee of his party, and to fill the
place by some one else. Did the
committee interrograte any of the
claimants, as nominees, as to this
matter? No, indeed It's main OBJ
ject seemed to be to cover up the
Red Ticket scandal, and cry har-
mony! harmony! harmony!!!
How many Republicans of Tyler
county approve Of the Red Tick
ct business! Do you believe such
work should be passed over light
ly and receive no condemnation
or censure from the outraged vo-
tiers? Are the men who accept
the nomination through fraud and
open violation Of the laws Of our
land any better than the men who
executed the plans and carried
out the fraudulent scheme? Are
such men to be trusted? Will the
public's interest be safe IN their
hands? You say no. Well, what
are you going to do about 1t?
The junto has made the nominal
ton for the party, and sorry
one it is. too. and are now at
tempting to line us up and make
us walk up under the party lash
and vote, not the original Red
Ticket, but its otfspring-a ticket
| that was conceived in iniquity and
born in perjury. We are robbed
of our vote in the primary and
conventions, and then call upon
us in the name of Republicanism
to support the ticket in the cleo
ton, no matter how corrupt 1t
may be. Will we do it? ""To be
or not to be :" that is the question.
Will we be a dead-head, a chump,
a tool and & cat 'spaw for the
iunto. or will we be true American
citizens who know our rights and
dare maintain them? Let us be
men-honOrable men, and men
who can see wrong and as quick
w condemn it. | have been a life
long Republican, and have voted
nothing else but the Republican
ticket. and voted it straight two
years ago, although it was bitter
pill to take, and many of my Re-
publican friends scratched the
ticket, but this year | am compell-
ed to 90 and do likewise. [ intend
to scratch my ticket without mer-
cy. | will not be a party to what
| know to be fraud. We have
cot to get rid of this juntO-this
parasite on the limb of Republi-
can politics-in Tyler county, and
to vote the Democratic ticket
seems to be the only way to Sc
cure this end and rid the party of
the junto. Let us rise up IN our
might and 90 to the polls in No.
vember and vote the Democratic
ticket, from top to bottom, for
county officers. 1t will simply be
the law righting itself. But
some will hesitate to do this; but
YOU need not. The sooner we
show the junto we intend to be
heard the better it is for us.
If we can not be heard in the
primaries and conventions, then
we will be heard at the polls.
There is always an election that
follows a nomination, and we can
be there good and strong. An
other slump in the party in Tyler
county will have the effect to
eradicate the junto from our par
tv and give each and every man
an equal chance to be heard. All
who did not support the ticket
two years ago, and many who did
are forever. so far as the Junto
can dictate. ostracized from ever
holding political office in Tyler
county. This has been fully
demonstrated in the nominations
made this spring, and all we os-
tracized Republicans are fit for
now is to 90 to the polls and vote
to keep the junto in power. Then
they will send it broadcast, far
and near, that they are the real
thing: they are the people who 60
to all the conventions, dictate all
