beriug them up for the lust play in the
big game.
The especial point which the state
committee wauls to emphasize is the
importance ot tho lull vote being polled.
They want, every Uemoer.it in the
counties where the Popul'st make prac

where the Populktt* are *truug, so tlmt
the big majorities in the strong Demo

majorities In the Poputlet strongholds.

borne in mind.
The work of exposing the Populist
fallacies and cxpoaud'iig the good old
