Christian County, Illinois. I have re
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,
Hock Island. 111. I have been a Demo
crat for years and worked hard for
Bryan in 1S96. I was one of the speak
ers at the pro-Boer mass meeting in

questions involved in this campaign
careful thought and will support Mc
Kinley and the whole Republican

Dick Damon, Hancock County, Illi

the correct one, and I, with my two
sons, will vote for him.

for McKlnley.
