Reply to The Voter.
Mr.. VOTER:


of craftsmanship and true man.
hood. In fact it eXcites my cur
iousities to the corrupt campaign
thunder that is continually roar
ing, when the election is coming
near at hand, but it fails to con-
vince me that you have this great
country at heart. but rather con-
viences me that you have some
ak to grind or rather dissatisfied
with the nominees of the Demo-
cratic party. Perhaps failed to
get your choice in the primary,
and now trying to deceive the
party by holding your name from
publication. You refer to three
candidates for representative,
two of them are nominees of the
Democratic party, the other one
is a defendant Of some party
best known to himself. but two
years ago however he was can
didate on the Socia list ticket. and
at this time is an Independent
candidate. Now Mr.. Voter. |
am pursuaded that you are boost
ing for the lndependant man and
are ashamed to let your name go
to print. | am an admirer of a
man who is bold and above board
who does not cancel his public
acts of life. lam pursuaded that
the Great God of this Universe
hates coward.
You say when the party NOM
mates man it is all right if he
is all right Now what does it
take to make him all right in
your opinion? | presume he must
be a special friend Of yours. who
you expect some special favors
fro n not to be made public to
the general masses and don't
want the choice Of the Demo-
cratic party. (However their
nominees are only men just like
all other good men, but not born
of the Virgin Mary and baptized
in the River of Jordan) and |
don't think your candidate was
either or he would not have back
slid from the Socialist party. In
regard to your Bible quotations
as to choose the smallest of the
two evils, have not those men been
tried by a jury of men consisting
of the majority of Democrats in
this whole Franklin county and
their verdict was in their favor.
Mr.. Voter, in regard to scripture
quotations. remember ar the Go)d
Book says: | rather you were
either cold or hot. On you filthy
luke warm, will spew thee out
of my mouth. Now Mr.. Voter,
don't you think it is high time
for you to get located. know
you are not a Democrat or you
would not fight its principles. |
don't think you are a Socialist
because they are too brave and
true to their organization and
principles of doctrine. | hardly
think you are a Republican be-
they don't go under cover 'or
such small game, but think you
are just like the poor southern
mule whose father is jackass
and his mother a bronko, and the
poor mule stalked up where he
can see all of his ancestors rang
ing on fine medows of the fields
and the poor mule can only throw
up his tai, and run to and fro
across the barn lot continually
boiling and braying trying to
create some useless disturbances
among the other animals. So |
think you are a good comparison
of the mule. You must be be-
tween the parties and the parties
are all feasting on office pie and
you poor donkey is just a mixed
breed and have to stay in the
stall and therefore you are twist
,ing your tail and boiling out,
vote for the good of the country,
just as though you were a man
oe rraat ipfiuanca instead of n
