DON'T LOSE YOUR
VOTE FOR BRYAN
Be CAREFUL. ABOUT MARKING YOUR BALLOT

There only two ways to cast your vote for Bryan
so it will count W.te
TIE SURE AND WAY Is to put xmark
GLE UNDER ROOSTER
The other way, WHICH IS MORE DIFFICULT
AND UNCERTAIN is to put an X-mark in the square
at the left of each of the % presidential electors the
Democratic ticket under the rooster
Mr.. Bryans will be on the ballot at the head
of the Democratic ticket but there is blank square
opposite his because do direct for pres
ident We select % presidential electors in Ohio to cast
the vote for Ohio
AN x.MARk OPPOSITE THE NAME OF MR. BRYAN WILL
COUNT FOR NOBODY, MARKS
TICKET THAT WAY WILL VOTE.
An Hinark opposite the only of the first pres
ldental elector will count ONLY FOR THAT ONE
ELECTOR and not for the other % electors The voter
who makes that mistake will cast only wenythrd
part of a vote. THIS MISTAKE WAS MADE IN 1892
WHEN ONLY ONE DEMOCRATIC ELECTOR WAS
CHOSEN, whereas all the Democratic electors would
have been chosen that year the voters had marked their
ballots correctly.
MAKE NO MISTAKE THIS YEAR. Take the
safest plan and MARK IN THE CIRCLE UNDER
THE ROOSTER. If you don't do that you must mark
every of the % presidential electors the Demo
cratic ticket which takes 90 Xmarks.
THE REPUBLICAN VOTER, or member of any
will find safer put the Xmark in the circle under
the rooster and then mark for the candidates his state
and county ticket for whom he desires to vote.
THE BALLOT WILL BIG THIS MIS- !
TAKES WILL BE EASILY MADE. a.,s
TAKE NO CHANCES. MAKE YOUR VOTE
FOR BRYAN SAFE by marking in the circle under the
rooster, and then mark for candidates the state and
county ticket according to your choice

COLD HARBOR

On the third day OF June, 1854, the Army of the
Potomac, moving rumphanty from its victories the
Wilderness and Spottsylvana, sweeping all before it.
came upon the veteran Army of Northern Virginia,
strongly enrenched Cold Harbor. Grant ordered
assault the Confederate position and in a half
hours time ten thousand piled killed and
wounded before Lees works. The effect of the terrific
and unexpected repuse terrible. But that night
when the order along the lines that another
assault would be delivered at daybreak, the Federal
soldiers, grouped around their campfres, sewed
backs of their coats little slips of cloth paper
which they had written the of the friends who
to be notified when they found dead and laid
them down sleep be ready for the morrow
History.
In no hour of all the four decades of his
tory that the Prohibition party has made
glorious with its high purpose and dauntless
courage, was there greater need that we
should remember what manner of men we
are, what cause we serve, and playing the
man, stand firm.
The election of November 3 will be re-
membered in history as the "Cold Harbor of
the Prohibition movement" For reasons that
are perfectly clear and, upon analysis, are
surprising to no one, where we were expect
ing the elimination of our victory, we met
momentary check.
A thousand things are to be discussed;
our lines are to be reformed; the banner is
to be raised anew; the battle must go on.
But the supreme matter now is this question:
ARE WE MEN? Does there beat in our
hearts the same courage that inspired the
men who reeled back from Cold Harbor but
marched on to Appomattor9
We are committed to advance. By every
bright CLEAN of truth that we have seen; by
every pledge of fidelity that our years of
service have recorded; by the holy cause of

THE ELECTION AND BEYOND

less be considered great victory for the
liquor traffic Of its enemies only the
Prohibition party emerged with credit. The
Anti-Saloon League was beaten at almost
every point where it entered the field
The good man. in a bad party went
down in defeat in by far the larger per-
centage of the cases where he appeared The
Prohibition party was in the thick of the
fight. Between open enemies and pretended
friends it suffered frightfully. But it's ban
ner comes out of the conflict still waving vic
tory, and every sign on the political horizon
indicates that, though it failed to elect a
President, and though it did not even elect
some local officials whose election seemed GER
tain, it did advance its issue toward final set
tlement-which must be right settlement
and it stands facing the future stronger than
ever
1t is difficult to write of the election re-
turns in such manner as to present correct
appreciation of the facts. We have won some
magnificent successes. In thousands of To-
calities, all over the United States, where en-
thusiastic Prohibitionists worked hard and
our men stood firm, we have polled largely
increased vote. In several states, some Of
them states where the opposition was terrific,
we have made fine advance. The holding of
New York state against the combined forces
Of pseudo-reform and saloon politics was in
itself a victory that ought to make the whole
nation rejoice.
The first showing of the returns was disap-
pointing, particularly to those who fancied
that the telegraph would bring news on the
very night of election of the casting of mil
lion Prohibition votes. In point of fact, the
telegraph brought almost no news, and no
news at all, save as it was gathered by Pro-
hibitionists and forwarded at the expense of
Prohibitionists. The news gathering agen-
cies, even more completely than in former
years, ignored us or, what was worse, getting
the vote of few counties, reported it as the
vote of whole state.
The result was something like panic in the
minds of a good many Prohibitionists for
the first day or two. But, as the smoke clears
away, our workers begin to see the field clear
ly and to recover their self-possession.
To understand the situation few facts
must be noticed:
First There was never any reason to ex-
moot that emil1ion vo+oc - talk about which

polled.
Second, Local optionism and good-manisHe
cost us thousands of votes In Indiana and
Ohio, where the Republican party was pro-
fessedly committed to the local option theory,
pressure never before equaled was brought to
bear upon our people to support the candi-
dates of that party. Somewhere between
twenty thousand and fifty thousand Prohibi-
tionists in those two states took the bait and
threw away their votes in an attempt to get
a "half Loaf that had already been put far
out of their reach by the liquor politicians
In New York and Illinois, reformers of the
omnipartizan sort brought every possible
pressure to bear upon our voters to support
men who had no moral claim, or even ap-
parent moral claim, to their support. The
letters Of the Anti-Saloon League, of the Re
form Bureau and of the weakened Prohibi-
tionists, with which Illinois and New York
we're flooded during the closing days of the
campaign, cost us thousands of votes The
impossible promise of DR.. WILBUR F. CRAFTS
to pay the expenses of putting the Prohibi-
tionists back upon the official ballot in New
York state, if they would commit party sui
eide in support Of an ex-iquor dealer and a
drinking, personal liberty advocate, while it
failed in it's intention of killing the party,
robbed both our state and national tickets of
the support of thousands
Third, The tremendous reactionary move
ment, of the existence of which The National
Prohibitiomist warned it's readers, appeared
in the election with even unexpected power
From central source, backed by almost un-
limited money, orders went cut that the cleo
ton of Tuesday, November 3, should utterly
crush political opposition to the liquor traffic
In accordance with those orders Anti-Saloon
candidates were slaughtered right and left
Governor HARRIS of Ohio was defeated :;
WATSON, the local option candidate in Indi-
ana, was defeated; Judge ARTMAN and Judge
CHRISTIAN, running in what were supposed
to be the safest of Republican temperance dis
tricts, were defeated; and practically every
legislative candidate whom the saloon had
any reason to hate or fear in Illinois was de-
feated
Almost the only part of this plan that
failed was the crushing Of the Prohibition
party. Our votes we're stolen Our count
was falsifed. Our voters were befooled and
befogged. The same interests that marked
