“WE'RE ON OUR WAY TO VICTORY NOW"

Letter Seals to Be Used During oampaign Have Put In an Appearance in Rensselaer. “We’re On Our Way. Republican Victory Now.” Little stickers, bearing these words, made their appearance in every precinct and township in Indiana today. They are of about the same size as the Red Cross Christmas seals and not unlike them- In color. A big part of the mail handled through the postoffices of Indiana during the next month will bear one of these little republican stickers. The center piece of this little stamp is a lively looking elephant with his trunk and one of his front feet high in the air. A banner over his back bears the letters “G. O. P.” This motto appears at the bottom of the stamp: “Better Government; Lower Taxes.” Inquiry revealed the fact that the republican state committee has fairly plastered the whole state of Indiana with these attractive little stamps. The first consignment to the organization workers, throughout the state, it is said, totalled one million stamps. They have been placed in the hands of the party workers and in the offices of newspapers throughout the state and a general invitation has been issued to every one who is in sympathy with the republican party this year to use these stickers oily all of his correspondence between now and election. This novel idea has met with a hearty reception and the prediction is made that the first consignment of these stamps will be exhausted in jig time. “We want every one who is with us this year to use these suggestive little stickers on the back of all his letters between now and election,” said Will H. Hays, chairman of the republican state committee. “We will undertake to fill any demand that may develop for these little ‘Victory’ stamps.”
