Once we heard good old man say
he voted as he shot, that he would not
vote for any democrats. will just stay
by it.. This man belongs to church and
we thought how much better if he
had said he voted the way he prayed
Most Of our church people pray for the
liquor traffic to be removed from the
land but vote the old whiskey tickets
that have always legalized the traffic by
taking revenue from it. The govern
| ment ought to be the pioneer in all thai
is good for its subjects. Say mister yor
did not wait for sentiment to grow thai
! the Union must be preserved, thai
slavery was wrong, but you put you
life in the service and at stake. You
shot to maintain it. Now you can do
much easier and just as good work by
voting against a more dangerous foe
the worst foe Of humanity. Have you
the courage of your convictions sanC
your prayers. Pray to have the curse
removed for three hundred and sixty
days, then on the next ticket votPifor. !;
party that has made liquor selling legal
Strange and inconsistent prayer. Wha
hope have you of lettering things By
fsuch actions or gaining crown jof gfor!
in the life to come. How can you cs
cape if you neglect SO great salvation
and chance of doing your best witt
| your vote. You can serve your ceuntr,
and your God better by voting as Vol
pray. How long would the juice of he'll
be made and sold if all our christian
people would vote the way they pray
How is the liquor traffic kept up? B,
votes, and yours is one Of them. W.
get what we vote for in this country i
we have enough votes. Every gros
shop means, hell fire, ruin and trouble
sold here to those too weak to resis,
the devil. The shop is there, christia,
| by your votes. Do not keep the young
prejudice by saying, vote the way
shot but tell them to vote the way VIZ
pray then you will have hopes 81 grea1
future for our beloved land. Vote RICH,
and it will be said of you,
| Unnincihng faith and loyalty
| Have marked his busy life,
And brave and fearless he appears
hero In the strife; 80
/ United in grand crusade
/ 70 save impered men,
His banner firmly he upholds
At three score years and ten
| God is tired Of rum and the ruin Il
causes humanity. He surely is tired Of
