Can You Afford to Vote Democratic in Linn County 1879
A long defense of Republican fidelity worded as a campaign warning urges Linn County voters to reject the Democratic ticket. It assails the party as corrupt, anti tax, pro-defeat of defenseless men, and aligned with treachery and graft, urging Republicans to resist ballot stuffing and Mississippi Yazoo ties while stressing duties to the nation and state. The piece closes by pressing readers to consider the political price of voting Democratic.
