Republican i'Scares''
Letters From Chairman Nc Combs. of National Demo

Ny pear Democratie. Friend and Go

My Dear Democratic Friend and Co worker: ct on November is dependent wholly upon the activities of you loyal work ing Democrats. And we are depend ing upon you with absolute confidence know that the responsibilities are heavy, but further know that the results will justify this confidence we place in you. The way to attain the most effective results is to have each voting district so thoroughly organ- ized that every Democratic voter will be brought to the polls on election day and will vote the Democratic tick ct. When elections are lost to the Democrats, it is generally because the Democratic vote has not been brought out. Will you surely see to it that all your Democrats vote this year?
 Senator Gore, who is chairman of the Organizat ton Bureau of the Ma thusiastic about the way the real Democratic workers are getting into the harness. and he feels this same dependence and confidence in you.
 I take the liberty of calling your at tention to a line of attack on us that is being used by. the Republicans and which I urge you to guard against and to counteract in your district.

This intense business ac- tivity is due to the fact that the busi- ness world knows Governor Wilson His record is one of complete fulfil ment of his promises All well posted business men know that Governor Wilson's election will help rather than disturb business, because they have absolute confidence that he means ev- cry word of it when he says:
 dustry of the country. The changes Gin the tarif0 which we make should be made only at such a rate and in such a way as will least inter- fere with the normal and healthfu1 course of commerce and nanufac- ture.''
 call your special attention to the fact that these evident conditions of heavy business in the face of the very apparent election of Wilson and Mar shall What does this mean?
