lowed tha same line OF argument, and
met with the same hearty response.

OF Republican policies: with nothing
but historic tradition demanding It's
people to vote the Democratic ,.clxet
paying meanwhile for the success
of Republicanism-with Southern
Democracy nothing but a tail to

not now take the first pol teal plung. |,
go politically where the material In |
terests or tn country demand, and !
vote the Republican ticket
