homes and confiscate their property.
We demand that stop be put to

FOURTH: For over a quarter Of a
century the Democratic party was I'm
control of both our State and County
government, and we point with pride
to the record it then made. Although
the state revenues were then small
state institutions we're built. euuipped
and maintained, and the State turn
ed over to the Republicans on March
the Attn, 1897, free from debt. Now.
some Of our state institutions are in
delapidation and decay, while an
army of useless officials, maintained
for political purposes, consume the
public revenues.
During said period of Democratic
| supremacy the affairs of our County
were so Justly and economically ad
ministered, that, although ASSESS.
MENTS AND TAXES WERE Low.
our roads were kept up, we built
bridges two court houses and jail;
/ the expenses OF our County were
| paid; and when the Democratic party
went out of power the County owed
no debt and about sixteen hundred
dollars was left in the treasury.
! Since that time the enormous reve.
nues collected by taxation have been
squandered, and in addition thereto p
county debt Of over one hundred thou.
sand dollars has been created. with
practically no public improvements to
show for ii. To the already over bur.
dened taxpayers this presents an alar
ming condition, the seriousness OF
which can not be over estimated.
We declare that a party RESPONSE
BILE for these conditions is not To bo

secured by clecting to Office men who
VIII serve the public and not their

FIRST: We declare our allegiance

miriistered for the benefit of all the
people without regard to party. race
or conditions. We stand for that time
honored Democratic doctrine of ECU
al rights for all, special privileges
for none;' and we demand that on
,ly men who are capable, honest and
above suspicion or reproach. and who
will represent and carry out the will
Ct the people, be elected to office.
We direct attention to the record Of
insincerity, sham and hyprocisy Of
the Republican party in this state
upon practically every question of i'm.
portance to the peopl which has arts.
en- in the past ten years, and declare
that a party so completely controlled
and dominated by INSCRIPTIONS poll.
ticans who make politics business
for private gain is a menace 10 the
welfare Of our country and can not
be trusted.
SECOND: The Dawson tax.laws. so
loudly proclaimed by those who ad.

reform for the relief OF the tax.pay.
/ crs, have proven TO be but subter.
fuge of ASSURE politicians 10 deceive
land not TO relieve the people.
Time mas demonstrated that the
purpose Of tampering with the tax
law was TO obtain more money. which
has been c-travagauuy squandered
with tho natural result that the bur
dens Of taxation have been greatly
increased.
We favor such n revision Of the tax
laws as Will tighten the taxes Of tho
people and distribute the burdens OF
taxation equally and uniformly upon
an classes OF taxpayers and every
Kind OF taxable property

REPUBLICAN PARROTS

Republican spellbinders, headed by
Mr.. Roosevelt, have felt compened to
misrepresent the revenue produced
from the rev tariff law. Lik. n lot
of parrots they are all repeating the
criminal delusion of publicity bureau
the Republican party that the new
tariff law has turned a deficiency in.
to surplus" Yet the treasury d,
partment's daily financial statement
shows that the excess of expenditure
IS increasing as the fiscal year ad.
Yances, though less than in 1908 and
1909. The report for October u
shows the deficiency since July to be
S25,65l ,9S7, including the Panama ex.
penditures of $11,S66,654. The GUS
toms receipts for the month, and in.
GLIDING October 81, were S17.779.234.
whereas for the same time in 1909 the
receipts were $1S,43O,615.
But supposing the Republican con.
tention were true, and that the Gus
toms receipts had increased enough to
wipe out the deficiency of revenue. it
would only show that the tariff taxes
paid by the people are heavier than
ever before.

We therefore direct our Represcu.

the result of an effort of a Republican
legislature to quiet the repeated and
urgent demands of the people for an
honest registration law protecting the
purity of the ballot, and at the same
time to place the least possible re-
strictions upon the corrupt practices
carried on in certain counties of the
State, where colonizing illegal voters
and repeating at the polls had be-
