 It may be of interest to the few friends I have left to know that since the dem ocratic party abandoned it's ancient prin- ciples in 1896 and absorbed those of popu- lism and communism I have felt free to vote for the only party that represents true Americanism-that is. the republican. This I have done in national elections and will continue to do so until that party shows itself unworthy or unfit to control the general government.
