Mr.. Jas. NJ Rogers. Cromwell, Ky.
Dear SIR
Win with Wilson.
VIII we do it? There seems to he no
doubt, and yet We must remember tae
old proverb: There is many a slip be-
tween the cup and the lip What is
necessary to win this election? Votes
Democratic votes. Who must cast these
votes9- Democrats. aS Course.
Many Republicans will vote the DeI.i-
ociatic ticket this year. some in Ohio
. county, but if we win 1t must be by
Democrats voting tine Democratic ticket
The Republicans are badly divided this
year. but they have a way of gettius
together on election day. Let ihem fight
1t out. the fiercer the fight the worse
for them. The Democratic party was
never more soli1ly united than now.
And they never lost an election In Kel-
lucky. except when they stayed at home
and failed to vote, hence 1t Is important
that every Democrat go to the election
this yenr and see that his neighbor goes
also. And IL we do this Kentucky will
go $1,000 Democratic. and Ohio county
will go into the Democratic column. DO
you want to see this result? OF course
you do. Are you willing TO help bring
1t about? OF course you are. Their go Il
the election and see that your neig.hbor
goes.
Have YOU read the Investigation now
being made by the Committee of Unitet
States Senators of Campaign Funds Col
yeas 1904 and 1908? II you have not yor
should do so at once and see the million
Of money that have been contributed
by the Trusts and Railroads to elect
Republicans and defeat Democrats. NJ
doubt you have often wondered why the
Republicans always won. and the Dem
ocraas always lost. but these million
of money furnished the Republicans .,
the Trusts and Big Business eXplain'
It all.
DO all In your power that Is homes
to get every Democrat in your pre-
cinot to vote and the victory is ours.
Yours truly.
j. T.. MILLER. Secy.
p. S. We think you are pretty nice
sort Of Republican. Aren't YOU disguised
with Taft and Teddy? Vote for Wilson
and have a good aaste In your moutl
for the next years.

Dear Miller:
Yours Of yesterday received. have
carefully read your plea and can no
find a sensible reason why any candle
man should vote for Wilson. While \,
lreceived his nomination by more adroi
thsevsry than did Taft. they TO m,
mind are In the same boat. they 60
their nomination in spite Of the ex
pressed will of majority Of sith D
party.
Yes. l have read the investiga.tipl
and must SAY that there never was a 81
OF conspirators worse COMPOUNDED an
Roosevelt comes out more fully advel
tised as the peoples champion. / az
sorry that you have not KNOWN me bet
! ter.while you have changed your polite
t often. I have always STOOD for T..
