 rrElocracy to Win
 You a. Astly interested in the out come of the election next Tuesday. It is probably the most important battle of the ballots that has taken place in many years A year ago the republican party, because of it's vast resources of pelf and place and power with unlimited campaign funds poured into it's coffers by it's wards, the filching trusts, occupied an impreg- nable position in the nation, but the sun light of democratic opportunity is now streaming through the clouds of repub- lican msrue that have so long enveloped our people Mammons republican guard is rent in twain and it's factions are ar rayed in deadly household warfare, while the democratic organization, throughout it's history the great tribune of the peo- pie, is undivided, aggressive and preg- nant with the hopes of assured victory. From Maine to California, from the Ever glades to the great lakes, can be heard the long stilled music of democratic na- tional success.
 At the present time it looks as if democracy will carry sure g of the AS states of the union; that we will elect 300 congressman out of 435; that Wilson g vote will approximate 7,5OO,0OO; that the rock-ribbed republican states of Pennsyl- vania, Kansas, Iowa, Minnesota, Ohio, 1 Wisconsin and many others, will break from their ancient moorings to join the democratic triumphal procession.

Marshall. ! "Our state is always safe for democracy. The traditions and convictions of her peo- | pie keep Alabamas eyes proudly and steadily upon the democratic North star, both in quiet and in storm, in victory and | in defeat, but let not this fact deter any democrat, nor be given by any democrat as an excuse. to remain away from the l polls next Tuesday. Let Alabama's voice ring loud and glad in the message she sends of record breaking vote for the democratic candidate
