I deem it unnecessary to call you
together for consultation over a
matter that must address itself to
each of you at this time. The noees
sity of polling the entire Democratic
vote of the county in the approach
mgoleelion shotru command your
undivided attention from now until
closing of the polls on that day. In
order to disarm our enemies and
leave thorn without opportunity to
charge the Democracy with fraud
or intimidation 1 take the liberty
of charging you with seeing that
every Democratic vote is polled in
each of your Districts. While pur
nominee for Representative to the
lit noth Congi ess has no opposition,
vet it behooves every man to see
that a full vote turns cut and that
no one may he left with an excuse
