Over thousand members of his con-

No DEMOCRAT can find excuse
for scratching the name of G. H.
Polk and voting for the Republic
can candidate for Representative.
Mr.. Folks character as a man and
a Democrat is without blemish.
A United States Senator is to be
elected by the coming legislature,
and no man worthy the name of
Democrat will give a vote toward
putting Bari Kerens in that place.
A vote for Caldwell is a vote for
Kerens. Vote to defeat Caldwell
and you will help elect a Demo-
cratic United States Senator.
Think of filling the place held by
Vest with a Kerens-a man, who,
without his "bar'l," would be a
nonentlty, and whose Republican,
ism is of the stamp that sneers at
and contemns Democracy as
"mossbackism"!

OUR neighboring county of
Washington has a debt of $40, 000,
and the Independent says, "It looks
as if we were going to get deeper
into debt rather than pull out of
the hole" A good many years
ago Washington county forsook
the Democratic faith, and Repub-
lican county courts have almost
continuously directed its affairs.
Contrast it's finances with those of
Democratic Iron! Washington's
taxable wealth is So, 900, 1888; Irons,
50, 74s, 260-over half a million dol
lars in favor of the former. Yet
Iron county does not owe a cent,
and has not for thirty odd years
since the Democratic party wiped
out the 5000 debt left to it's care
by the "Gang" Benny would like
to see restored to power. All these
years our county warrants have
commanded dollar for dollar,
while those of neighboring Repub-
lican counties have frequently
been and are going begging at q
discount of ten and fifteen per cent
Do the taxpayers of Iron county
long for such a condition in theil
affairs?

his official assistant, word has

State west of the Mississippi River
to-day that can be safely counted

Illinois, Minnesota and Ohio, and
yet the Republicans must claim
these States for the National tick

ONE Nelson Crews, a discredited
negro politician who advocates the
social equality of the white and
black races, held forth to the Gang
white and black-at the Acade-
my of Music last Saturday night.
Crews is a Kansas City negro, and
was Herbert S. Hadley's alternate
at the Chicago National Republic
an Convention. AS such he sat in
the convention while Hadley made
himself conveniently absent. Re-
ferring to this trucking to the ne
gro vote, the Kansas City Post Of
June 9Th said:
Who is this negro to crafty
whose vanity and lust Of social
equality, the Republicans permit
ted to sit in their caucus in the
place Of the only man whom they
have any hope Of electing govern
or? Nelson Crews Is q loud mouth
ed, staggering, perfumed, red
shirted, yellow-shoed, oficious,
and generally obnoxious negro
politician. If he has ever done
anything more honorable and moro
creditable than draw q salary
which he did not earn, make polit-
ical h%arangues in which he assert
ed and rejoiced in the prospect of
social equality for the negro, 1t is
not OF record. He Is the same
Nelson Crews who made himself
so obnoxious in the Office OF police
clerk of Kansas City that he and
other negroes in Office became an
issue in the recent municipal cam
paign; in whose Office conspiracies
of illegal registration were hatch
ed, and who, when he was kicked
out by a Democratic mayor, left
the official records in such q hope
less tumble that the white clerk
who followed him gave up trying
to make head or tail of them.
This is the character Of speakers
the Republican committee is send
ing out over the State to educate
and elevate the colored voter. His
vote is the one thing wanted, and
all means, no matter how objec-
tionable or discreditable, must be
used toward that end by the Had
ley managers. How they love the
colored brother-just before the
