No Trading

We would impress upon the Democracy the importance of adhering to and working for the straight Democratic Ticket. Let there be no trading! Every effort will be made to secure the election of one of the K. N. nominees for the Legislature. There are two United States Senators to elect at the approaching session of the Legislature, and every Democrat will see the necessity of electing both of the Democratic nominees. The opposition parties have been endeavoring to unite in order to defeat the Democratic party. They will approach democrats with all sorts of propositions to swap votes. Turn from them, Democrats, with scorn! Remember that they acknowledge themselves beaten when they offer to swap off a portion of their ticket! Vote the straight Democratic ticket, and we will have a clean Democratic victory! and two national conservative Democrats to represent us in the United States Senate. No cross-firing, Boys! Charge upon the enemy in a solid column, and victory awaits you!
