DUNKARDS ARE FIRM

REeUkED BY INDIANA MINISTER.

Ad M I'M IL tr at ION.

At the opening of the campaign the
Democratic managers asserted that
Friends, Dunkards and members Of 9TH
er peace-loving Christian societies would
oppose Mr.. Roosevelt's election. Inves.
tigation showed the assertion to be I'M
true. Now the Democratic managers are
rcsortins to despicable means, in ths
hope of Winning a few votes, but are
meeting with mcrited rebuffs. w. ].
Showalter, who processes to be Dunk
ard, has been employed by the Democrat
ic committee to do it's dirty work. Here
is a sample Of the letters he is sending
to Indiana Dunkavds and the kind of re-
plies he is receiving. The recipient Of
the letter quoted is a preacher at Kappa,
Indiana. Showalter,s letter follows:
Washington. ID. G., Sept. Is.
My Dear Sir--I enclose you stamp
cd envelope in which want to ask you
tt be good enough 70 send inc tue n7rlnes
and addresses Of all the male members
OF Your church who arc over 81 years Of
age. or as many OF them as you cah.
''lon will see by the enclosed slip JUST
what President Roosevelt thinks Of peg
pic who profess the peace principle and
| simply want to put the same thing in
their hands so that if they vote at III
for him they can do it with their eyes
open. My people are all Dunkards, my
father being treasurer OF the Old Folks
Home at Timberyille.
Il trust that God will speed the day
when all men will cspouse the peace
principle as your good people have done.
the day when there will be none to ma
Ign them for it. ~-
"Thanking YOU in advance for the fa-
vor. am, very truly.

The reply sent by the Dunkard preach
er was as follows:

Why Doee Parker Object:

The Democratic presidential candi
date says, in substance, that President
Roosevelt advocates violent methods OF
diplomacy: that is. he has departed from
the old style, believes in s,r:lghtfor-
ward expression of exactly what the at
titude of this nation is, and does not hes
itate to say that this nation is quite pre-
pared to take care Of itself.
Well what would YOU have? Are We
not great nation. practically owning,

suggest but to assist in the affairs Of the
