JASPER. INDIANA. FRIDAY. OCTOBER 9l. 1904
PARTY ORGANIZATION.

The Democrats Of Indiana cannot DO
more important work In the closing
days OF the campaign than give earn.
est attention TO organization. or all
phases Of the campaign II is the one
That should invoke painstaking care
and earnest thought to the end that
nothing may be left undone that may
contribute 10 success at the polls
What are the arrangements in this
county for getting out the full Demo
cratic vote' Are there any voters
who may be regarded as doubtful for
any cause and II so can the causes OF
the doubt be removed? Are Demo
Gratis at work and are they working
effectively, Can the vote OF the party
four years ago be greatly increased
and IL so. what are the means to be EN-.
ployed7 These are some OF the ques-
tions that should be suggested and
effort should be made 10 find answers
that will bring about the desired re
suits.
The Indications are all favorable to
carrying Indiana by decided plural
ity. for the campaign was opened and
has been conducted under the most
favorable auspices. From It's incep-
tion the Republicans have been on the
defensive and their defense has been
notoriously impotent In the face Of the
record they have made in state and
nation IN the past ten years Congress
and the state legislature have been
extravagant with the peoples money:
corruption has entered in and received
encouragement from high places;
graft has been exalted and old-time
economy abased: the trusts. fostered
by prohibiuve tariff. have eaten up
the peoples substance and have be-
come more and more dictatoriai with
their long-continued lease OF power:
the Indiana board Of tar commission
ers has persistently and in defiance
OF right reduced the assessments OF
corporations and increased the bur
dens OF the people by increasing the
assessments on lands from which our
people draw their sustenance: every
session OF the legislature under a Re
publican majority shows an increasing
expense. and extravaganza and waste
have been allowed TO run unrestrained
and with ever-increasing velocity.
But. notwithstanding the favorabls
auspices under which the party opened
It's camapign. II must not be assumed
that the opposition TO Republican poll
tics will find its full expression at the
polls without effort on the part OF
Democrats. There is nothing more
pronounced than the disposition 10
leave to others in politics the duty OF
the wrongs which all suffer
alike and TO shirk effort which might
be put forth TO good purpose Every
Democrat should be at work and
should work INCREASINGLY TIL the polls
close on November g. The redemption
OF the state and nation from Republi-
can rule and Republican extravagance
can be accomplished II all the forces
Of opposition are working unltedly to
that end The one fact alone that a
iNspubhCh boaiu VI lah cohmisslOh-
ers has increased the assessments OF
ands and Improvements on lands in
excess OF $4,000. 900. while reducing
he assessments OF corporations more
han $4,000. 900. should excite the
greatest alarm among the people and
restore the Democratic party TO power.
Perfect the organization in every
ietaii. Let every Democrat get 20
work and work earnestly for success
Ind there will be no question about the
'esult-
