A4CIALNl AlEAOONAl
The Republican newspaper men of
the district are confident of Mr.. Nc
Kinlay's election by a large majority,
but do not intend to diminish work in
his behalf on account of the assurances
Of victory. Vigorous efforts will be put
forward to bring every registered voter
to the polls. 1t was clearly demon
strated that Bell, the Democratic NOM
inee, has been forced to abandon the
platform Of his party and omit all ref
erence to Alton B. Parker, the Demo-
cratic candidate for President There
was a general tally of reports that Bell
was explaining and fioundering. Under
cover he is appealing to the Native
Sons. the Eagles and the Red Men for
political assistance. His campaign tac-
tics in this respect will be fully dis
closed by the Republican press. There
is a strong element of Republican citi-
zenship in these organizations, and the
scheme of Bell and his managers to put
a Democratic tag on the fraternal or
ders will not succeed.
Though Bell does not openly deny
that he is the nominee of the Demo-
cratic organization, he refuses to go be-
fore the people and proclaim his allie
glance to the principles of that party.
Old-line Democrats of the district are
not giving him the support that they
would give to a Democrat who pos
sessed the courage to stand by his
party in adversely.
