A fragment of election propaganda urges voters to back multiple candidates including Frank B. SeYDER Tuomas M. Coonnr and Jupax Tuomas M. Coorer.

The system abolishes sentences over two years except for five year terms. Convicts enter a solitary probation with harsh food and labor, limited contact, and a nine month target period.

The piece argues the Republican party is not dead, likening its fate to a funeral that never occurs.

It closes with a Baptist pastor’s three year tenure and debt repayment.
