Reference is made to sections as
they are now placed in the constitu.
ton and as II is submitted to the
people for their ratification.
The republican politician has thirty.
ed and flourished out of the great
special interests in the country anu
by deceiving the people. In this pro-
posed great state they have forfeit.
ed the confidence of the working peo.
pie, and they cannot hope to enlist
them and their assistance, but II by
deceit and misrepresentation they
can divide our forces, they hope TO
get control OF the state government
and render the provisions of this
constitution abortive. That would
make these provisions stllhorn, and
retard the progress of civil govern.
ment for half a century.
The yenal republican press of this |
state for months has sought
to deceive the people by every spe.
cies OF Misrepresentation, and by .
caumny and ridicule they have .
sought to discredt those that were .
in the constitutional convention and .
now that the trainers have utilized .
all the light that they had and faith.
fully done their duty, they seek To
deceive the people and make them
believe that what amendments have
been put i'm there have emascuatei
the first provisions. Why, there is
Just as much sense I'm a Christian
consulting the Devil as there is in the
people of this state being
advised or relying upon the represen.
ations OF the republican part So do
not be deceived. Get a correct copy
If this constitution and read IL.
The official copies will be- ready
within week or ten days and whom
he people Of this great state have
cad this constitution and looked up
hese references, they will find that
hese delegates they elected have
shown by their work that they were
not only true TO a pledge they had
made 10 the people prior to their
election, but that they now merit their
confidence.
In whatever changes they have
made, they did not go although
iriven by the department of the at.
orney general in Washington-on
'mgle pledge they made, but have
complied with them all. Now. let the
'oople who believe in the rule of the
'eople' a government of equal and
'Xaet justice, rally around the con.
and adopt IL by such an ov.
'rwhelmins majority that the influ.
nee and power Of the ballot as weld. ,
