INDICATES STONG DRIFT TO REPUBLICAN PARTY

By special request a poll was made of twenty-five voters of this community Saturday. This poll showed that of the twenty voters taken at random, six who voted the Democratic ticket in 1916 and 1918 will vote the Republican ticket this fall. No sane person, who will study the primaries last spring, can arrive at any other conclusion but that the people want a change at the White House. Every indication from Maine to California indicated a landslide to the Republican party. Recent California primaries shoijr that every county reported was ReEublican for the first time in the istory of the state. The Czarism of Wilson: the incompetency of ins cabinet; the wicked waste of 99»000,000 of the money wrought from American citizens through the appeal to patriotism and who were given' in return a government bond costing 9100 but worth but 985; the encouragement of a labor condition bordering on anarchy; an uncertainty in governmental and business affairs, which if not changed point to a period of darkness, disorder .and disaster; the refusid of Wilson to sign the peace resolution: his veto of the Volstead act and hsi insistence upon placing the sacred rights of the people of this government under the heels of the “kings and emperors of Europe by placing in the Versailles treaty the Wilsonian League of Nations, are jfaot * few of the iniquities of the WilsonCox Democratic party and the explanation of an en masse drift from the Democratic to the Republican party. Now and then there may be found ?n isolate Republican, who may vote or the Millionaire Cox. This is true in every campaign. Similar individual cases were pointed out by our Democratic friends in 1904 when Theodore Roosevelt was elected, receiving 386 electorial votes to 140 received by Judge Alton B. Parker of New York. Cox was nominated at the San Francisco convention by the Democrats opposed to Woodrow Wilson, but Cox is proving every day his ingratitude to them and the rank and file Democrats are fearful that they have as their candidate a man believing in his ability and having the disposition to follow the example of Woodrow Wilson in usurping all the functions of the national government and believing in a government of the president, by ths president and for the president instead bf “a government of the people, by the people and for the people.”
