| am glad it is so, This makes a
clean cut issuc-we are all familiar
with the questions at issue 1t is a
matter of decency in politics, a ques-
ton of Democracy, If you believe
Breck Robinson represents purity
in politics, stands for decency in
elections, then vote for him and his
list of Committeeman, but if on the
other hand YOU believe that he does
not represent this element OF our
party, if you believe he tries to tear
down rather than build up and that
he tries to use the party as a means
of accomplishing his own selfish
ends, then it is not only your privl-
lege, but your duty to cast your
vote against this element of our
party,
have often heard men say they
were tempted to quit our primaries
because Of the corruption that eN-
lists therein. Such men are honest
men, who are really desirous OF pure

YOU that you question the Demo-
cracy of any man? Did you ever
scratch a Democratic ticket for a
Republican? Did you not do every
thing you could two years ago for
a Republican as against one OF the
best Democrats who ever secured q
nomination in Boone County?
Where were you, Mr., Robinson,
when your party needed you, Oh,
