It is a majority of the votes that win in all elections. { Every man and woman voter who favors a change in our present State and National Administrations, and who wants to keep us out of all foreign wars, and is against giving any of our Presidents a THIRD TERM, should at once start making an earnest effort toward getting every one of their friends, neighbors and acquaintances, to promise that they will go to the polls on election day and vote a straight Republican ticket. I truly believe that this is a Republican year that our National and State Republican tickets will both win.. Very sincerely yours, Charles P.
