TO THE REPUBLICANS OF
JEFFERSON COUNTY

How long are you going to stand
for the conditions that now prevail
ii this county? How long are you
going to allow one man to control
your votes, select your candidates.
and say who shall and who shall not
be candidates for public office?
Will you continue to be herded to
the polls like sheep. and compelled
to vote for candidates selected, de-
signated and controlled by one who
boasts that he has carried the vote of
Jefferson county in his vest pocket
for thirty years? Will you continue
TO do the bidding Of one who has
been denounced by nearly every one
If the prominent Republicans of the
county, time and again, as a men
see to good government?
Are you political slaves? Are
you always to let this discredited
political boss tell you "where to head
in," who to vote for, and have moth
ing to say in the matter yourselves!
It is a we'll known and admitted
fact that the present Republican
Couny Ticket, and each and every
candidate thereon, were compelled
to have the sanction and approval Of
the "boss" before they were placed
en- the ticket, and will be compelled
TO do his bidding hereafter, II elect
ed.
There is now but one method to
he put into effect II you are to break
the "strangle-hold" Of Vivianism on
Jefferson county, and that is to vote
the Democratic county ticket, and
rid yourselves forever Of this blight
en- Republicanism. this symbol Of
boss-rule in our party government.
