nounced Bryanism and the Democratic
party and intend to take the stump
for the whole Republican ticket.
Owen Scott, Decatur, 111., ex-Democratic
Congressman, Bloomington Dis
trict. I supported General Palmer
four years ago, but as a Gold Demo
crat. The only course open to me this
year is to vote for McKinley.
Editor Donald of the Volksblatt,
Rock Island, 111. I have been a Demo
crat for years and worked hard for
Bryan in 1896. I was one of the speak
ers at the pro-Boer mass meeting in
Chicago last spring. I have given the
Questions involved in this campaign
careful thought and will support Mc
Kinley and the whole Republican
ticket.
Dr. Jules Kohl, prominent surgeon,
ex-member State Board of Health un
der Altgeld, St. Clair County, Illinois.

George Crosby, Belleville, 111., farm
er. I am opposed to the socialistic
tendencies of the Democratic party.
Louis Kontz, T. Buettner, Conrad
Witte, Ralph Martin, all of Chicago
Rnd all German Democrats. We are
tor McKinley because he Is opposed
to 16 to 1.
Carl Zwanzig, owner of the Volks
JBlatt, Ottawa, 111. I am. in favor of
oxpansion.
Judge George W. Wall, Duquoin, 111.,

the Third Judicial District, and two
sons. We cannot stand for the money

R. V. Helm, Murdock, 111. I voted
for Bryan in 1896, but Democracy no
longer has any charms for me.
Dick Damon, Hancock County, Illi
nois, stock dealer. It is better to be a
patriot than a partisan, and I can no
longer follow the precepts of a party
that always goes "agin" the govern
ment. McKinley's foreign policy is
the correct one, and I, with my two
sons, will vote for him.
C. P. Elders, Carterville, 111. I
voted for Bryan in 1896, but am
against him now, and have accepted

der Altgeld. We have organized a H
publican club with 100 charter mem

Logan Combs, Marion County, Illi
nois, sheep raiser, life-long Democrat.
In 1896 I received 11 cents per pound

so?

the Democratic silver forces of
Georgia and the originator of the
state silver conventions in 1896, which
anticipated and controlled the action
of the Democratic State Convention,

fpr Supreme Court bench of the United States by President Cleve
land. Afraid of Bryanism in all its branches.
James M. Beck, United States District Attorney of Pennsylvania A man
is of that party with which he sympathizes, whatever he may call
himself. If, therefore, one believes in free silver and in hauling down
the American flag in the Philippines, he is a Democrat ; but if he believes
in honest money and in the supremacy of the flag in our territorial
possessions, he Is a Republican. Between these I had no hesitation in
choosing. I am no longer a Democrat ; 1 am a Republican.

Chicago. Prosperity, sound money,
