Tues ley next will be election day /
and every voter shodd demonstrate
lis interest and love for bis country |
by txer cising the greatest right be
enjoys under the constitution Of our
government.
1t is not only the duty of every
voier to vote bat to vote for the in
torests u his country as bis best
judgment and sound common sense
dictates. Il is his duty to vote foi
III, men whom be believes honestly 4
will u.e their energy and efforts To-
wards bringing about the progress OF
our couLiry and maintain it's pros
pe.ily ard happiness. Thi' is Il"
time for partisan voting. The great
problems that are co fronting thu
country at home and stroad demand
that we should have in the White
House man Of stronr, consistent,
fearless and forceful character in
whom III people have that strong
confidence that they can feel at all
times that their country's welfare and
interests are safe 10 his hands and
can rely on him without fear of an!
bat the best results and an agreeable
ortcome. ASIDE from this we m lst
have a United States Senate and a
House of Representatives to back
him up in his policies for tho all
vancemeni, prog ess, peace, prote;-
ton aud prosperity OF the people.
With these things in view it is
the duty Of every voter to study the
records of the two candidates for
President; the candidates in this
state for the United States Senate
ard the candidates for the House of
Representative; be records of the
two political parties in the past and
what the candidates of The respective
parties stand for in this campaign.
As we see it in or Judgment the
interests Of our great country vii.
best be subserved, and its progress
and advancement, as well as protec-
ii n and prosperity continued through
the election OF the republican candi-
dates. The eopIe know that under
the regime of the republican party
that The people have enjoyed more
protection, prosI Gritty and happiness
during TIE last fifty years than it
has under the two democratic admin
istrations that we have had since the
civil war. The history of the Clevt
land administration when conditions
were worse than perhaps ever before
in this country is TOO well known 10 |
need any particular reference to at
this time. The history of the pres
ent democratic administration II
fresh in the minds of our readers
but we shall call attention to some
things that the people have not stop
ped to think seriously enough about
and then we ask you, Mr.. Voter, to
stop and think for yourselves. In
the first place the present Democra-
tic administration promised four
years ago that they would reduce tie
high cost of living. Have they done
so? We challenge any man to show
us that flour, sugsr, lard, shoef,
clothes or the other necessaries OF
life can be bought as cheap as they
could under the last republican adj
minis ration shen we bad a protec-
tive tariff law. We believe the
democratic party did tiy to do SOM
thing dong this line when they pass
ed the Underwood tariff lawthe enact
ment of which was followed by the
osing of many mills and factories
and the throwing on, of employment
OF thousands Of laboring men 10
short tie same kind OF condition be-
gan 10 prevail as existed 10 the days
of Cleveland, but what happened -?
A var broke out in Europe which
has been raging there for several
years which brought about a change
in conditions. Because the men
over across the alei had to leave
their plogs, their factories and mills
to take up arms the people IL Europe
had to resort to this c5untry for food
and clothing and this is the cause Of
the false prosperity we now have
Had the waf not broken ou., under
the underwood t4ilff Jaw, our mar
ks,s and our labor would have been
put in competition with the cheap
market and labor If Europe with
shich our people canno' COM eie
successfully, and as the result, Just as
