You must not put any mark of any kind on your ballot except as before mentioned. CONCLUSION OF ThTWHOLE SYLLOGISM. By Senator Albert J. Beveridge. “Get out the vote—this is our battle cry in this campaign from now until election day. The arguments have been placed before the people, and we will continue to place them before the people till Nov. 4. The great majority of~the people are convinced as the days go by. THE BURNING QUESTION FROM NOW ON IS SUMMED UP IN THESE FOUR WORDS: ‘GET OUT THE VOTE.’ Let every man be a committee of one to take that command. Let -every man see that his neighbor does the same. If this is done the administration will carry Indiana on Nov. 4 by more than 30,000 majority. Get out the vote—let that sentence pats from mouth to mouth from Lake, Michigan to the Ohio river, and from the Ohio line to the Illinois boundary. That sentence Is the conclusion of the whole syllogism of this campaign. ALL ARGUMENTS ARE VAIN, NO MATTER HOW MUCH YOU ARE INTELLECTUALLY CONVINCED UNLESS YOU GET OUT THE VOTE. All your prosperity will wither unless you get out the vote.
