 On October goth William Jennings ] Bryan issued the following statement
 from his home in Lincoln, Nebr.
 Fellow Citizens:
 The campaign is drawing to
 close; the issues have been set forth in the platforms; the arguments of
 the candidates have been presented.
 and the verdict is about to be render
 eds Every state in the union shows
 Democratic gains and there is no
 doubt of a Democratic victory if ali,
 who favor our policies, vote and have | their votes counted. I write to urge
 you to see to it that every Democratic vote in your precinct is polled early and counted We desire popular ma | iority as well as a majority in the electoral college, and your vote is needed to offset a Republican vote 1 somewhere else, even if not needed in your locality, WORK VOTE. Ana
 then you can rejoice the more heartily
 in the victory.
 The above statement to the Demo crats of the country was signed by William Jennings Bryan. It is an appeal to every Democrat in the United States and the Democrats of Arizona will be the first to respond. It is true that in this election the
 Democrats of Arizona have been de- nied the privilege of voting for a pres ident on account of the attitude of the Republican party. On three sue l1G Democratic delegate from Arizona, has passed a single statehood bill through the house of representative and when this bin reached the senate the Re publican coterie have caucused and decided upon it's defeat While the Democrats of Arizona cannot vote di- rect for Mir. Bryan in this election | they are afforded the opportunity to vote their political principles Mark Smith, as the candidate for delegate to congress on the Democratic ticket is the representative of that party in Arizona at this election. Mark Smith is in sympathy and is giving his time and energy in the east to the success of the national Democratic ticket When the fight was drawing to close
 in the east; when every Democratic orator of ability in the United States
 was being pressed into service, there came a telegram from w J. Bryan 10 Mark Smith urging him to come ! east and make speeches in Ohio, h. diana and Kentucky Mark Smith
 responded to the call Shoulder to shoulder with Judson Harmon, David
 Francis. John Sharp Williams. Charles Towne and the biggest men in the | party, he has been in the thickest of | the fight in the east. The Democrats Of the nation are united in this elee- ticn- The indications are today that ! Bryan will be the next president and | the Democrats will control the house
 of Representatives. This is a time
 when every Democrat is called upon
 to do his duty and with Mark Smith
 absent, fighting the battle of De
 mocracy in the east, it is doubly the
 duty of every loyal Arizona Democrat
 to stand solid behind the candidate of
 the Democratic party in Arizona | Marcus A. Smith.
 1 Ask yourself as a Democrat, be
 lieying in the principles of the party
 of Jefferson and Bryan, why you
 should give the Republican candidate
 a vote in this e1ection9
 Has Mark Smith been false to any
 trust ever reposed in him?
 Can the Republicans point their
 finger at single disloyal act of his
 during his long years of faithful ser.
 vice in congress?
 Isn't it fact that every Republican, who was in Washington at the time
 of the joint statehood battle, returned
