ELECTION ON
 NOVEMBER 3
Notice to Democrats of the Seventh Congressional
 District.

because or JHe busy SedSOil, IL is impossible for me, on the stump, to reach only a small portion of voters. In addition to making speeches where l have been able to get crowds over the district, 1 hope by this means to reach all Democrats. A Republican candidate is out against me, and it is evident that he and his followers are or ganizing to take Democrats by surprise. The Republican party is making a desperate effort by all methods. for which it is mo- torious, for a majority in Con- gress. In all doubtful districts and districts where Democratic apathy or over-confidence pre- yails, it is making a fight not less stealthy or fierce, as the case may be, for Congress than for the Presidency.
 Every Democrat should attend the polls TUESDAY, NOVEM- BIER 3.
 First. Because it is a duty he owes himself and the public.
 Second. - Because the full strength of the party vote in each district will meet the Re- publican charge of suppression of votes. as a ground for reduc- ing Southern representation in Congress.
 Third. = In the event of a Re- publican majority in the House of Representatives. particularly if that majority be small, it would not be deterred from oust- ing Democrat on any sort O. plausible pretext. The time Is passing when Democrats should take anything for granted.
 A big Democratic vote will in- sure big Democratic majority, which cannot be questioned. Read this from the Commercial Appeal;
 eve want to say a word to the people of Arkansas, Tennes- see, Mississippi and Alabama, and every other Democratic Southern State. For the last five years there has been a per sistent effort to cut down South ern representation from the South in Congress. We poll bigger votes in primaries than we do in general elections. The Republicans do not consider the fact that a nomination is equal to an election in the South, and when there is a light vote, they charge that votes are suppressed, and if the Southern Democrats will not stop suppressing votes their representation should be cut down to the actual number of ,tes cast. The future and the hope of the Democracy is in the South. The salvation of the Southern people is the Demo cratic party. It is the duty of every Southern white Democrat to cast his vote in the November election. No matter if your Congressman has no oppositi,n, every Democrat should vote for him and Bryan. The Commer cial Appeal suggests to every Democratic paper in the South that it begin a campaign to get the vote out. We hope our weekly contemporaries will take up the fight. Our Democratic nominees for Congress should make speeches in every county in their district. They should push their campaign just as hard as if they were in danger of being beaten. We may have more to say on this question late~, but we urge every Demo- crat to take warning and begin work, resolve to cast his vote and see to it that his neighbor votes.
 For these reasons l appeal to personal and political friends and 10 all who stand for the rule of the people-to put their hearts in the cause and their hands to work in this greatest battle ot reform that has occurred in my
