or, are nocking 10 Judge Hanna and
The democratic party. because they
have dcspaired Of ever obtaining
honest and Just laws and the honest
and just administration Of state ar
iairs until the old republican ring
is wiped 0ut.
The democratic party should not
be Rauecd solely by Us candidates
Tor Office, although there Is not one
name on The ticket who Is not
ero.iit to the party, but by the prin-
riplcs laid down IN the promises of
The platform, and the records Of the
past, which records what no man
may eainsay.
Vote the ticket straight or YOU
will tie the hands Of Judge Hanna
nnd defeat the high aims OF the
democratic party In the State and In |
the Union.
