THE SAME OLD SALVE.

In the Editorial of the Day" col
umn of this issue of The Ardmoreite,
will be found an article from the
pen of the editorial writer upon the
Ada News, which should be perused,
carefully and prayerfully, by every
Democratic reader of this paper.
The editorial deals. in both the alb
stract and the concrete, with the
manner in which Republicans are urg-
ing the Democratic voters Of Demo-
crat counties to vote for the man, y
(always in the Republican partD
while seeking to impress upon the
voters of Republican counties that it
is little short of treason to vote for
any save the regular Republican can
didates.
1t seems from the News article that
the spreaders of Republican propa-
ganda, "salve" would perhaps, be a
better word, are abroad in the land
over in Pontotoc county, just as they
are abroad throughout the length
and breadth of Carter county.
pontotoc, like Carter county, is an
all-wool-and-a-yard-w Democratic
community. Like Carter county, Pom
totoc is peopled, in the main with a
ctizenry whose political affiliation, as
majority, is to be found in the par
ty of Thomas jefferson.
And as is the case in Carter, and
many other staunch Democratic count
les, so it is in Pontotoc. The mission
aries of Republicanism are browsing
about the hills advising the unwary
TO "vote for the man" and always at
tempting TO show that the man 10
whom reference is made, will be found
running as a candidate upon the Re-
publican ticket.
To the Democratic voters who may
be inclined to hearken TO the Siren
notes of the Republican workers, The
Ardmoreite would sound a note OF
warning To those voters, both men
and women, The Ardmoreite, like the
Aut -NtMHs Nouih IbluN OAN NiAbt AiAN
Republicans are ever advising the
! Democrats TO scratch your ticket
and, at the same time. impressing
upon their own voters the necessity 10
vote her straight"
The Democratic voter, man or wo-
man, OF Carter county, who may feel
inclined lend a hardening ear TO the
platitudes of Republicans relative TO
scratched" ticket, might do well
TO talk with some of the older heads
of the party and ascertain il. any
, where in the archives OF political his
t tory, local or national, can be found
q record of Republican voters follow
,. ing the advice they give, having their
. own prescriptions filled, taking their
y own medicine.
The fellow who comes to you from
the Republican camp, whispering
!, sweet tidings and telling you that now
n is the time for all good men to rally
h, TO the support Of the man, is a fel-
~ low who always finds the man" in
IN the Republican party, and who would
~ see Democrat further In Gehenl
- lthan carrier pigeon could fly in a
,Sonth, before he would vote for him.
N, As the Ada News article says. with
h Republicans. 1T is mark Of pa
wt.riotism for a Democrat to scratch his
Il ticket. but IL is a sure indication OF
treaohery and treason FOR Republi.
can to do aught save vote her
straight"
The present campaign is closing
.he election Is near at hand. The vol
nom Sleeps clothing is abroad in IN,
nl,land, the pitfalls, set for the un
.nwary. are numerous. As good Dem
,crats, Watch Your Step!"
