Democrats you can certainly afford to give one day in four years for the good of the cause we all belive in. Help get out the vote. “Equal rights to all—special privileges to none." That old time principle is alone enough to make every conscientious voter cast his ballot for Parker. FAVORABLY REPORT Committee Recommend Purchase of Machinery Council Will Probably Bay Engine and Dynamo From Elyria, Ohio. Councilmen Peter Kirsch and Al Buhler and City Electrician Mylott returned Sunday morning from Elyria, Ohio, they being the committee appointed by the city council to inspect the second-hand 250horse power engine and the 5,000 candle power dynamo, that a company has for sale at a reasonable price. All three members of this committee when asked concerning this outfit claim that it is practically as good as new, and in good repair and at the price at which it is offer d, 12,800, would be a bargain for the city, and they will ask the council to purchase this outfit and at once move it to this place and get it in working order. When compared with what a new outfit like this would cost it is a bargain, as a new machine would cost in the neighborhood of 110,000, which nun a sav.ig to the city of $7200 and as the city must have more power when the day current is put on it looks like a shame to refuse a bargain of this description. All three of the committee were of the opinion that their report would prove satisfactory to the council and that the machinery in all probability would lie purchased.

DON’TS. Don’t be late at the polls. Don’t go away early. Don’t let any man vote whose name Is not on your poll-book. Don’t forget that the Republican state tax board is trying to make ths tax law odious. Don’t take any chances with voters If they don’t come to the polls promptly, send after them. Don’t forget that Charles W. Fairbanks and Albert J. Beveridge voted for the ship subsidy bill. Don’t forget that your vote may be important in determining the result in county, state and nation. Don’t forget that the Democratic party is depending upon you to do your whole duty on election day. Don’t forget that these are prosperous times only to tne trust magnates who own the Republican party. Don’t appoint any but simon-pure Democrats to act as watchers of the count on the night of the election. Don’t forget that November 8 will determine whether tyranny or the constitution shall rule in this country. Don't let Republicans bulldoze you out of any of your rights. The law defines them and you should assert them courageously. Don’t stay away from the polls on •lection day, but vote early and remain to help your election officers in emergencies. Don’t fall, if election judge or watcher, to scrutinize every ballot, and don’t take a Republican’s word for anything in counting the vote. Don't forget that Governor Durbin has admitted that the payments on the state debt have all been made from money raised through a Democratic tax law. Don’t forget that the Republicans expect to vote negroes who are not legal residents of the state, and when such things are attempted stand squarely for the right. It only remains for Democrats to do their whole duty on election day to insure the state tor Judge Parker, and for the state ticket and Democratic control of the legislature on joint ballot. Everv help has been afforded by the state and local organizations, and there is no question but the state will be Democratic if members of the party come out and vote. Do what the party organizations may. it still remains for the people on the final da.v to say what the result shall be. No Democrat should prove recreant on that day. Every vote should be polled and every honorable effort made to carry the state. Let there be no laggards. Let everyone vote and work as though the result depended upon him alone, and Indiana will be redeemed from Republican rule.

fjtjn BEAR IN MIND? That It Is Important to get out a full vote and that every Democrat should be urged to do his whole duty. That your vote is needed and your | services may be made valuable to the party at the polls on election day. That the Democratic party Is right and the Republican party is wrong on every issue presented in the campaign. That the Republicans will bear j watching and that it is prudent to' keep an eye on them, especially in I counting the vote. That Mr. bryan has set an example of patriotic zeal in this campaign that , should be emulated by every Democrat. That the party watcher has a right to see every ballot taken from the ' box and to know that it is recorded for the candidate tor whom it is cast. That William Jennings Bryan, the Great Commoner, has declared that gold and silver are as nothing when - the constitution is ignored and liberty is denied to a dependent people. That the Republicans, having been driven to the wall on the issues of the campaign, are desperate and will resort to anything to win an election i which is already lost to them if fair means prevail. That Senator Fairbanks pointed to a factory at Auburn. Dekalb county, as evidence of Republican prosperity, when the factory had been idle two years, and that that is precisely the kind of prosperity that the Republicans are giving tne people. That the valuations of lands and improvements on lands In fifty counties were increased by the state tax board I in 1&03, some as much as ou per cent, j and the same board reduced the assessments of transportation companies in one year nearly |I,OCO 000. That Democratic papers over the 1 state have tor weeks been engaged In , showing up the favoritism of the state ' tax beard to railroads and other cor porations, and that Governor Durbin . and his party associates, knowing this did not attempt a defense till the very eve of the elect on. when they hopci their statements could not be successfully refuted. That a Republican state tax board has betrayed the people by systematic reduction of railroad assesments and equally systematic increase of private property values; that the railroads have been reduced in nine years $16,000,000 and farm lands and improvements on ’arm lands increased $27,-! 000,000 in one year, and at this rate of Increase and decrease the people will I soon be paying ail the taxes. That Governor Durbin has declared Superintendent Hert of the Indiana Reformatory bought champagne and charged it up to the state as medicine; that he favored contractors by giving them the labor of the convicts free; I that the management was brutal and Inhuman and kept the hospital crowded because of overworking the convicts; and that Governor Durbin kept Ilert tn the superlntendency for two I years, knowing all these facte. ONE ON FAIRBANKS, Benator Fairbanks, who is making a tour of Indiana cities while the ReI publican state central committee Is I running special trains tn order to get crowds at his meeting and even then can't get them, gave an Illustration of ■ his foolish prosperity argument at | Auburn which he will not soon forget Waving his hand In a dramatic mani uer. he pointed to a factory building ■ and declared that It was an evidence • nt Republican prosperity. A titter ran through the crowd at first and then it was succeeded by a | burst of laughter which surprised the , speaker. Some of the people In the crowd walked away In order to find a ! good place to laugh, and a few of the I Republican managers went behind convenient houses and metaphorically i kicked themselves. After the Senator ' had ceased speaking and Inquired into the laugh that followed his reference to the factory, he was Informed that It i had not been running for two years, , but had been dismantled and was now in the hands of a receiver I But It was too late to correct his statement and the dismantled factory will stand as an evidence of the kind of prosperity that the Republican party ts giving.
