II is UP TO DENIsON.

will be elected Nov. 9Th. We say
this advisedly. The returns from the
rural precincts are most encouraging
In no section is there any marked
falling off from the vote of two years
ago and in many places there is an
increase. What does Denison intend
to do with the ticket What do Den
ison republicans intend to do? On
the answer to that depends the result
in several instances.
Last Spring the republicans knitted
their ticket. The result is that every
ounce of power the city admininsta-
ton can give is on the side of demo-
cracy. 1t is one OF the chickens
that have come home to roost. 1t
is easy to say that each campaign is
independent but this is rot the case
and never will be.
Had the republicans been as loyal
as they should shave been Crawford
would have been republican county
several years ago.
A few republican personal friends
of MIR. Terry gave him encouragement
to think they would vote for him.
Last week tine Bulletin used this, not
only to encourage Terry but AGAINST
THE ENTIRE REPUBLICAN TICK
EFT.
That is the way it goes everytime.
Shaw Van boasts that he has the en-
tire Sons of Veteran vote in his
pocket.
Meehan plumes himself en- the pool
hall vote, while Hoffman exploits his
Methodist friends.
Louie Evers calls the German re.
publicans all his own. while John
Cook brags of his republican friends
support.
Denison is the strong hold of re-
publieanism throughout the county.
Every man who belongs to the party
and who wishes its success. bears q
responsibility that is greater than
personalities.
Denison is watched by every out
side precinct and its vote this year
will influence the vote in the next
campaign. If Denison republicans
cut their ticket this year it is a
chicken that will come home to roost.
In the next campaign you may per-
haps be particularly interested in
some republican candidate If you
are, you will find that lad record
from Denison will confront him at
every turn. There is but one way to
make this county republican and that
is to work for the whole ticket.
Throughout the county men are being
convinced that republicanism is
right. The republican meetings are
large and enthusiastic. There are
more republicans than democrats in
Crawford county today. Let Denison
set good example. What is the
use in being republican 1854 days in
year and forgetting it on election
day?
If you are going to be republican.
help ALL you can.
Do not fool yourself. that it makes
no difference if you scratch a few
times. 1t does make difference
Especially in Denison. There is al
ways jealousy enough between town
and country. Do not increase it by
your vote. This is crucial year.
Last year we won, but the democrats
say it was by a fluke. Repeat the
victory this year and Crawford is re-
publican for ten years to come. Let
the vote of Denison defeat republic
can candidate and it. will take years
to heal the breach. This is straight
talk and good sense and we want
every stead-fast republican in
Denison to let it sink in and think
about it, 1t is not SO important that
this or t...:c:. 10y, be elected. but it
is important t..ls TIC republicans of
Denison keep their record clear.
That they be able to go before their
fellow republicans in other parts of
the county and say that they did the
right thing by the whole ticket. That
would count. 1t might be the saliva
ton of the party and of your personal
trlend some other year.
A republicans vote against Cum
minis is vote against Judge Conner,
because the republicans Of the district
expect the home county of Judge
Conner to support the whole ticket
and they will resent any other course.
We want every republican in the
country who proposes to vote against
Cummins to do so with his eyes open.
A vote against Cummins is a vote
against Roosevelt and will be consid-
cred so all over the United States.
A vote against Cummins is a vote
against Judge Conner as it will weak
en- him in the district. A vote against
