Il am satisfied that there are

who are still clinging TO the
Democratic party. yet who
know in their hearts that IL Is
best for the country for the
Republicans TO elect the Presi-
dent, | am now referring 20
the class of Democrats in this
State and over the country %
whom the people commonly re-
fer as that class OF Democra,s
who vote the Democratic ticket
but pray for the success OF the
Republican party, for the good
of their States and the country.'
Il am writing this, simply ex-
pressing my personal views and
feelings, and not desiring 20
make myself conspicuous By ap-
pearing in print, but IL you ap-
prove Of what / have said, and
see fit to use the suggestion,
you may do so.
In conclusion, permit ne 20
suggest what a great thing i
would be for our State II we
could be instrumental in casting
the deciding vote in selecting the
next President of the United
States, and especially what 1
would mean for the whole
country il We could step in the
breach and save the people from
another reign OF Cleveland pan
les and hard times. am glad
to see that Morehead is gaining
ground fast each day"
This suggestion from our valgei
lbscriber is SO timely and so preg-
ant with possibility for our state,
Id for good or evil for the whole
'untry. that We feel We are dong .
atriotic service to give to it space
our columns.
II we have any reader who IS a
artisan OF the pie-counter bosses,
e respectfully suggest that be call
is extract to their attention and
e whether or not IL appeals - any
Itriotic sentiment which they maF
