August 8

Joliet, IL (Excerpt)

Omaha World-Herald (Sunday Edition), Omaha, NE, 9 August, 1896.

"Our opponents sometimes say that we do not know what 16 to 1 means, but I want you to let them understand that it has one meaning and that is that every silver man is to get sixteen to vote with him in November. That is one meaning of 16 to 1."
