MAKING MONKEYS OF
OURSELVES

The socialist organization in the
state has spread the news broadcast in
a very boastfuI manner that their
state questions one Of which does away
with the registration law and the other
writes new law in detail In the con.
stitution, would carry in this county.
That statement means that they are
expecting democrats to vote for It..
They have talked machine until they
think the democrats have believed
what they say.
An election law ought to do two
things. It ought to protect the ballot
OF the honest man, the man who lives
in a county and who must rear his
family under the laws enacted and
who must pay the taxes and then the
law ought to insure a fair count.
The registration law was made to
protect the ballot Of tne honest man..
II forever keeps big companies and
monied politicians from colonizing ne
groes and criminals in here to help
carry elections. That law by all means
ought to stay on the statute books.
Now, with reference to fair counts.
there is material evidence at hand.
The ballot boxes have been tested sew
eral times. J. B. A. Robertson had a
recount when he ran for governor. Do
you remember the RESULT. II showed
that an honest election had been held.
Bill Murray had a recount last August
and do you remember the result7 Il
showed that an honest fair, square
election had been heid. Felix West in
this county had a recount when the
race was very close. Do you remem-
Der that the election was absolutely
on the square? These are straight
facts placed before us. The law is
easy to use, il meets every honest pur-
pose. Then where is the good sense
in changing an election law just to
please n. NJ Nage and n. N. SIN
clair who are at the head OF the So
cialist party. Those men are not to
blame. They are working the game Of
politics. They do nothing else but
study schemes and get up charges to
try to make the people become dssat.
isfied. But II the democrats are hood.
winked into voting for their schemes,
then we have permitted ourselves to
be made monkeys Of to be laughed at
by socialist headquarters when the
election is over.
