DEMOCRATIC VOTERS, ATTENTION.

We cannot urge upon the voters too
strongly the necessity for very active
watchfulness this last week Begin
ing Tuesday November LIST, Alex Nc
kenzie sends over two thousand men to
the various precincts over the entire
state provided with plenty of money and
with instructions to do everything pos
sible to defeat Burke and tie democratic
ticket You know they can do this only
by underhanded methods, and also that
a change of a few voters in every pre-
cinct of the state means that in this
election we will be unsuccessful. At
present the situation looks very favor
able, and Mckenzie has let everything
go our way, intending to create re.
action the last week. Therefore YOU
should bend every effort the remaining
few days for a great democratic
victory.

Gentlemen-Since having received the
nomination of the democratic party for
the Office of Clerk of the District Court

earnest effort since the opening of the
fall campaign to canvas the vote and
support of the people at the polls at
the near approaching election to be held
on Tuesday of next week, November the
Sth, 1910. I believe that my can
didacy has been received with consider
able favor over the county. But about
ten days ago 1 was taken sick, since
which time l have been unfortunately
detained at my home in Langdon.

the county to do all that is possible
in my behalf at the polls, assuring them
that if elected the duties of the flee
will receive an honest and faithful
discharge. ...

Today alike are great and small.

Who serves today upon the list,
Beside the served shall stand:
Alike the brown and wrinkled fist,
The gloved and dainty hand
The rich is level with the poor:
The weak is strong today:
And s)eekest broadcloth counts no more
Than homespun frock of gray.
Today let romp and vain .'retense,
My stubborn right abide;

Against the pedane's pride.
Today shall simple manhood try

The wide world has not wealth to buy,
The power in my right hand.
While there's grief to seek redress,
Or balance to adjust; ho

dreth's address was confined largely to
the tariff. He said the republican
party had failed 10 keep the promises
and revise the tariff downward, and he
quoted from some republican leaders.
LaFollette, Cummins, Dolliver and
others, In support of his contention, He
then attacked the tariff record of
Senator McCumber and Congressman
Hanna, justly criticising them for their
support of the tariff measure. From the
tariff he went into discussion of state
affairs for brief period. Quite num-
ber of local democrats and some curious
republicans we're present at the meeting
