Voter Calls Democrats to Vote Republican for Home and Prohibition
A letter to the editor argues that Democratic voters who supported the 1855 platform and the 1882 June 27 amendment should back the Republican ticket to defend the Home and oppose the Saloon. It asserts the Republican platform aligns with Democratic principles on sovereignty, anti-centralization, and anti-monopoly, and highlights planks favoring corporations, mining safety, and patent law revision as Democratic in spirit. The piece urges Democrats to vote Republican for true Democratic aims and homes of Iowa. The piece notes a party convention reassembly and a senatorial ballot in Story and Boone counties, with discussions over a Story County candidate and a Boone County candidate, followed by adjournment.
