that the voting population carefully
consider their relative differences
and their merit and dement's.
Possibly by reason of the fact
that I was for years a leading Of
ficer for the Grange and State lee
surer for the Farmers Alliance, that
both Democrats and Republicans
have asked me my opinion on the
relative difference between the two
old political parties platforms. Now
I am rather inclined to think that
my answer to certain Republican
friend would be sufficient explana-
ton Of my opinion without further
manifestations, but as great inter-
ests are involved, | will here briefly
give my answer to any Republican
friend and pass on possibly to more
weighty matters and greater consid-
erations..
As my Republican friend handed
me newspaper containing the
Democratic platform he said, "when
you read the two platforms, | want
you to give me your opinion of
them" to which I assented. After a
to which | assented. And after
careful reading Of the platform l
sent him this answer: "Did you ever
see little rattery dog lying beside
big elephant, He hasn't answered
my question.
Now, if the voting population will
for short time lay down their par
tisan eyeglasses and look through
the telescope Of truth and reason,
they will readily see the relative diff
ference between the platforms.
First, let's notice the G. 0. P.
platform charges against the Demo-
cratic administration and its claim
that a Republican congress have
scored all the problems of the Demo-
cratic administration, which charge
and claim is a bare-faced, Infamous
and fragrant fabrication of false
hood. which should be throttled by
every Democratic speaker and news
paper in the nation. The platform is
not only punctured with falsehood,
but it is bold display of brag and
buster, arrogance and presump-
ton. Almost every phase. of the
platform is covered with big We's,
the true spirit of which is big We
and little you, big Republican and
little democrat.
We know and you don't
We 10 and Won don't.
We can and You can't.
We shall and you shan't.
We are wise, but you are not.
We can run the government, but
you can't.
We will run it, but you shall not.
OH my Lord, what manifesto
ton of arrogance and presumption.
Now in all candor, I ask how can
any Christian voter stand on the G.
o. P. platform without disparage-
ment to his loyalty to Almighty God,
and singing remorse of conscience
for having endorsed falsehood with
his ballot.
As God is my judge, had 1 been a
loyal Republican during the 55 years
that have been Democrat, I would
not vote the Republican ticket atthe
November election. If I endorse a
falsehood with my ballot am no
better than the falser Hence, if /
vote the Republican ticket l not only
discredit my loyalty to truth and
righteousness, but I sin against God
and therefore loose my fidelity at
home and abroad. Moreover, should
a majority Of the voting population
support a platform saturated with
falsehood it would thus demonstrate
to the world that truth and righte-

gone to seed, and falsehood, brag
