r. M. white, Editor, Mexico, Mo.
Through your valuable paper l wish
to express as my heart beats towards
Democracy. This coming election is
q great struggle for liberty.
All the liberty a poor man has is his
vote for the 81 years past.
Times have been very good. Prices
on everything mar has to sell has
been good, and wages have been fair.
What caused it, Republican pros
perfty? No, anybody knows that
Demand for anything will sure in
crease prices both In article and
wages. At present, cattle, hogs,
sheep and all farm products are a good
price, but as l said, demand for the
article causes the price to increase.
But how about the wages?
Now look at all the railroad emu
ployes how many thousands of them
are out Of employment?--educed both
men and wages. What is the matter?
And under a Republican administra-
tion it ought not to be.
Alb, ii is close to another President
ial election, They (the Republicans)
will try and soothe you to sleep and
make you believe 1t is because they,
at the Denver National convention
the greatest one In history nominated
the greatest man on earsh, is the
cause. Look at the money panlc a
few months ago, allunder a Republican
administration. No cause. All, but
il w, ]. had been president, why, Of
course, the Democratic administra-
tion would have been to blame
Now the crisis is right on us. What
are we going to do? Shall we support
trusts and monopoly by our voting for
men for office who indorse such ?
Shall we vote for men who want the
people Of this commonwealth to make
good the wrongs OF other Opposite
sidel? l say, no.
Let us as a laborinR people Of our
commonwealth on Aug. 4 vote for the
men who have made good heretofore
men who have been put In the fiery
furnace and have come out without
smell on their clothes. These men Of
our commonwealth are Joseph W.
Folk and W. H. Wallace.
There are three different offices Ia
the Godhead, the Bible tells us,
Father, Son and Holy Ghost. These
three are the ones we must reverence
first above all others. Under these
we get our beings, and then comes the
next most important office to fill, all
In the same Godhead ESQ to speak, for
they are on the same line Ia regard to
law enforcement, and on these we de-
pend a good deal for our bread, Bryan,
Folk, Wallace.
You remember the decree that the
the king sent out THAT all the male
children under two years OF age would
be killed unless the blood was found
upon the door post Of their house, but
thank God, when the destroying an
gel came he found the blood there and
passed over.
Solomon says, "He that ~oppresseth
the poor to increase his riches and be
that giveth to the rich shall surely
come Il. want
The destroying angel has been goine
to and fro for the last twelve years
destroying not only the male children
under 2 years of age but also grown
children. Poor laborers).
Now the king (Roosevelt) sent out a
decree TAFT telling you unless the
decree is observed ELECTION (Taftl
There would be hard times for thu
next four years to come, but here is
relief, that on Nov, l3rd the Demo
Gratis slip In and sprinkle the bloot
bryan, Folk, Wallace on the doc
posts (ballot boxl, and when the de
destroying angel Taft comes alonl
and sees the names on the door post
he will pass right over. (Down Sal

States Senator, and, above all, yot'
for that matchIess nah William Jen
