DEMOCRATS! READ AND PONDER!
- [Lynn MA? , 1853
[Lynn MA?, 1853. Broadside, 8-3/4" x 11-3/4." Bold and large type styles in the title. Uniformly toned, a few shallow margin chips. Very Good.
In 1853 Daniel Baker ran for Mayor of Lynn, Massachusetts. Registered as a Whig, he nevertheless received the support of many Democrats. In this broadside the "Democratic friends of DANIEL C. BAKER, (and there are hundreds,)" urge his election. Any "true Democrat" can support him with a clear conscience. "Politically, Daniel C. Baker is a Whig, but in his every-day demeanor and conduct, is he not just the man we would have for Mayor? National and state politics have necessarily nothing to do with it."
A vote for Baker will show the Whigs that "we can afford to be magnanimous, and teach the Whigs that we will go for a nomination for Mayor, after our own heart."
Not located on OCLC, AAS, or the MA Historical Society. Not in Sabin.
