That First Vote.

Il
ment, but 25 per cent of the vote that
will be polled this yesr will be first
votes" for president. How important
then that the Young man who cast.
his first vote this fall should make
the question OF politics a study fol
the next month. There was never
time when there was quite as much
good literature being scattered ovel
the country as this year. There are
also hundreds and thousands of GOOD
speakers holding meetings all ovel
the country, who are competent to
furnish the best of information.
The young man who will cast bis
first vote for president this year
should not sit down and be content to
vote as his father has been voting, un-
less after careful consideration he
believes he has been supporting those
measures which are calculated to pro-
duce the best results. He should
read the literature of both sides and
listen to the argument adduced by
both sides, and when he has carefully
digested them, and decided for him.
self, he will be prepared to discharge
the responsible duties of an elector.
The Republican party invites the
first voter to make study of its re-
cord for the last 48 years covering a
period of the country's greatest
achievements. Compare it with the
record which the Democratic party
has made, when it had control of the
affairs of this country and vote with
the party which you think has been
the most CONSTANT, and the one
which gives the best promise of fu-
ture usefulness to the country and
her happy and contented people.
The Democratic party has had con-
troll of the affairs of this country
eight years of the last 4S. Four years
of that time a majority of congress
was opposed to the DemocI attic policy
and they were not able to put their
theories into operation, but the Sec
Ond administration of Mr.. Cleveland
he had majority in both branches
of congress In sympathy with him and
during that four years we were treat
ed to genuine Democratic admins
tration. The young voter ought to
acquaint himself with the conditions
that prevailed q t that time and COM
pare them with the conditions during
the next four years when the Repub-
lIcans had control of all branches of
the government. After such compar-
ison you will be able to cast an intel
ligent vote and if you are guided sole
ly by such motives you will have al
lied yourself with Il party where you
will be at home all the balance OF
your life.
We believe that If such care is eX-
ercised you will cast your first vote
for Roosevelt and congress to help
him uphold the policies of his party.
but if your decision is with the Dem
'crats it is your duty to cast your
vote for the candidates of that party

The Mankato Advocate saws that
during all the years Mr.. Reeder has
been in congress he has not done a
thing for the benefit of his district.
Well, somebody has done things
that have benefited his district. as all
round prices were never so good when
the people had things to sell: money
was never before so plentiful here,
nor the district so prosperous May
be the republican measures which
Mr.. Reeder supported had nothing to
DO with this happy change of affairs
since the last democratic administra-
zion. 1hat Is matter of opinion;
but there is one thing about which
there is no dispute, and that is that
the democratic party did not bring
these things to pass. No democrat
living would have the hardihood to
claim credit for measures that they
have opposed and fought at every turn
In the road; measures which accord
ing to their vehement predictions
would bring distress and ruin. 1t i
hardly thlnkable therefore, that the
people OF the Sixth will turn down a
man who has had his shoulder be-
hind all these measures that have re-
suited so happily for the country, in
order to give his place to d young man
who has had no experience, but those
theories would lead him to oppose
Them all even after their bene ficence
mac been demoStrated Another
thing about Mr.. Reeder which men of
all parties know, is that no congress
man in Kansan has done more person
ally, Tor his district than he has. The |
Advocate without half trying. can
