ALL DEMOCRATS
Are Earnestly Requested to Attend the State Election to be Held
Monday, September 14, and Work For the Entire Ticket From
Governor Down to Constable, For the Following Reasons
1st. To increase the representation of onr county in the State
Convention, thereby increasing our influence and delegations iu State,
Congressional and Judicial politics, and thus secure equal prestige
with other counties of our class in State affairs,
‘2nd. To promote harmony and unity in county politics, which,
to some extent, in past campaigns, were somewhat disturbed, hut at
present bids fair to be solidly united in the approaching contest. We
have a strong county ticket which we think will show as much, if not
more, strength as the usual list of nominees.
3rd. The stay at home votes in Democratic States, like the stay
at home votes iu Republican States, have often caused their respective
parties to lose important victories. Many good men and important
measures have gone down in defeat because their friends and advo
cates were over-confident and stayed at home on election day. The
only hope that the local Republican ticket could have in winning any
thing in this county, would be on the Democrats staying at home in
large numbers.
4th Each party should do their best to show their full strength
in the September ejection as a forecast for the National Election in
November; if we make a great showing in the September election it
will lighten our work in November.
5th. In several townships there will be local tight" made on the
Democratic nominees for township offices, which is a matter of vital
importance to every Democrat; in fact, it is important to every resi
dent or citizen. The offices of road overseer and justice of the peace
are important offices.
6th. Several matters of non partisan interest are to be voted
upon, as follows:
For or Against Amendment No. O.
This amendment seeks to require every elector to produce a poll
tax receipt as a qualification to vote in all State and municipal elections.
For or Against Amendment No. 10.
This amendment seeks to give cities, counties and improvement
districts the right to issue bond-, for public improvement purposes.
For or Against Road l ax.
For or Against Liquor License.
The prohibition question is today one of the livest issues in this
State and merits the attention of the entire public. Do you want
prohibition or do you want saloons'
Any one of the above questions are of enough importance to
merit your attention at the polls, and all of them should certainly
cause you to become wide a wake and attend the election without fail,
even though you have no personal interest to prompt your attendance.
R. K. McHENRV, Chairman of the
Democratic County Central Committee.
Attest: C. D. Metcalf, Secretary.
