ATTENTION DENOCNArS


sional District Of Terss:
IL is now only few days until
the election. Permit me Ia urge
each and every one of you to GO
To the polls and vote; bc sure to
do SO. and urge your neighbor
To do so. True the ticket is not
in danger, but it will be in dan.
ger il you do not vote. II your
neighbors stay at home and do
rot vote, as you perhaps may
do, enough of you may fail to
vote to endanger the ticket. This
is the hope of the opposition,
Notwithstanding they are saying
but little about it. The opposi.
ton parties are on the alert. The
Republicans and the Bull Moose
are each doing their best to prove
their respective parties the stron
ger, and the Socialists are active
and will vote. If Democrats fail
to vote, it is possible for one or
the other of these parties to poll
such vote as may either elect
some of its candidates this year,
or at least make it very trouble
some in future. You may expect
the opposition parties to vote
their full strength at this cleo
ton. Let it be matter Of pride
with you that you helped the
| Democratic party to poll it's full
strength. We are going to elect
a Democratic president this year.
1t is true our nominees for Pres
ident and Vice President will get
20 electoral votes in Texas wheth
er the majoity of the popular
vote in Texas be large or small
But theDemocraus of Texas must
do all in their poweo to help our
nominees to receive a ajorlty of
the popular vote in the United
States. The larger the popular
vote IN Texas, the larger will be
the popular vote for our nomi-
ness in the whole country. The
moral effect of great victory
will be felt Immediately and for
years to come. Let no Democrat
deceive himself into believing
that it is unnecessary or useless
for him to vote. BE assured that
if you sleep on the post Of duty
on Nov. 5, the opposition will
surprise you and may win the
battle. Let every democrat vote
and hang out his sign notifying
his neighbors to vote.
| do not wish to make this APP
peal too long, but | cannot close
without urging every voter, and
especially every democrat to
vote for the proposed amend
ment to section 81 of article 3 of
! the constitution, so as to give
the legislature power to provide
sufficient provisions for INDECENT
and disabled Confederate sold.
iers and sailors and their wild
ows; and authorizing the levying
of sufficient tax, not to exceed
5 cents on the 500, so as to col
lect enough money to pay pen
sionS that should be given to
these old heroes and their wild
lows. The present provision Of
the constitution upon the sub
| ject has been found inadequate,
and many Confederate veterans
who will not receive any pension
and are interested only in be
| half of the less fortunate surviv-
ors, and many camps of veter-
ans have pointed out that the
Ipresent provision is inadequate,
and suggested the amendment to
| be voted on. If there were no
other cause to move you to go TO
the polls and vote on Nov. 9th,
lyour duty to vote for this amend
ment should carry you to the
polls on election day-and carry
your neighbor with you.
| In the mean time, send in your
dollar to the Committee. This
is a battle for the people, and
the money to pay the necessary
Expenses must come from the
Ipeople Do Your Part. Remem
| Der the number of the Confeder-
ate amendment, Section 81, Arti.
lcle 3. Vote for it.
| Yours for a great Victory,
