At that time an important State and large Coun- ty ticket will be voted for. gs of discussed throu During the the campaign past month the i have been carefi f the papers. The candi. the columns « i dates have traveled over Centre county thoroughly voters, The situation has from every stand.point and by this time most every man has deternined mind as to how he will prepare his This year the democratic party i county is standing in good favor. officials have conducted themselves in a very creditable manner. The county's finances are in excellent condition. The revenues have been carefully adjusted and all expenditures were properly and judiciously made. While this is true and the people desire a continuance of interviewing been carefully discussed this policy. they must come to the elec- tion on Tuesday and cast their ballots for that purpose. Votes alone | Count, The democratic party in Centre coun. ty has a large majority of at least one thousand, They represent all classes, laboring-men, farmers, mechanics, busi. ness men— and when they turn out on election day the sentiment of this coun- ty was always found to be thoroughly democratic. The democratic party should have the control of public affairs, not ouly because their past record com- mends them to the people, but because They are a Majoriiy of the Voters. This is a peculiar year in polities. Fol. lowing closely upon an exciting presi: dential campaign it is natural that there should be a general quietus. There are no brass bands, torch light processions or public gatherings. Everybody is go- ing the quiet tenor of his way and for this reason there is due cause for some alarm. There will be some democrats who will think it hardly worth while to 20 to the election. This indifferent feel- ing exists and will be difficult work in some districts to get out the full vote. Committeemen and assistants have been appointed in every district of Cen- tre county who have given their pledge to perform certain duties. There inten- tions are good, and these obligations should be duly discharged by seeing that every demociatic vote in the district comes out. If every committeeman would neglect a few votes, in 51 voting districts there would be sufficient loss to endanger the ticket. Therefore We need every Vole, To recapitulate. Next Tuesday is the day of the election, and it is your duty as a citizen to take enough interest in fe We over public matters to go and vote; the time ! hascome, and Votes alone will Count, The democrats should elect their entire ticket this year, because its a good one, the party should bave control of affairs as it has The Majority of Voters. While this may Ge true, we need every vote in every district this year. Every republi- can will be at the polls and to elect the ticket We will need every Vote, Democrats, the final struggle is at band. Do you wish to see victory again perched upon the democratic standard ? If 80, go to work at once. See every democrat and urge him to at- tend the election on Tuesday, On Tues * day go early to the polls and vote; if your democratic neighbor does not come go after him, We must work if we would win: and in order to win we mus GET OUT THE VOTE, treasurer. that Mr Miles once said ‘‘the peopie in Penn int and dumb I statement was Une valley were too igno know how to treat a man right. t M.D {John ).
