128 pages. Staple-bound paperback booklet: H 19.5cm x L 13.25cm. Toned greenish-gray paper covers with chips and tears; front cover detached with past owner's pencil signature at top margin; significant surface paper loss along spine with underlying quires exposed; rear cover attached by top 4cm with long tear descending to joint heel. A few leaves with wear at corner margins with a few spots of minor soiling and foxing but overall still clean. Staples rusted but text block binding is firm. Only a good copy but a scarce Mississippi temperance publication featuring twenty-nine chapters (primarily essays regarding the religious, legal, moral, etc. facets of the movement) by a myriad of contributors including Richmond Pearson Hobson, Charles Betts Galloway, James Bruton Gambrell, Henry Grady, Charlton Henry Alexander, Robert G. Ingersoll, George W. Eichelberger, et al. Preface on page 3 and Index on page 128 but with the latter actually being a table of contents. No publication date specified but Alexander and Eichelberger essays cite 1912 so presumably issued between 1912-1915. Contrasting to this 128 page edition, OCLC cites two different DESTROYING THE DESTROYER WITH TWO WEAPONS undated editions - a 94 page booklet (held by five institutions) and a 110 page booklet held by the University of Mississippi. {MS-Shelf#1}.…

Ingersoll, George W. Eichelberger, et al. Preface on page 3 and Contents on page 4; laid-in between pages 34-35 is small folded sheet from the Anti-Saloon League, Jackson, Miss., soliciting orders for the temperance journal "The American Issue."

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. At a time when politicians were accused of putting their ambitions above the well-being of the United States, this book analyzes the tactics used by corrupt candidates to win elections. It highlights the fraudulent and unethical practices employed by Theodore Roosevelt in his bid for the presidency, including fabricated claims of stolen delegates and a deliberate attempt to deceive voters and manipulate the political process. Through detailed examples and evidence from Roosevelt's own campaign, the author exposes the extent to which dishonesty and a lust for power can corrupt even the highest echelons of government. This book serves as a cautionary tale about the dangers of political extremism and a reminder of the importance of electoral integrity in preserving a just and equitable society. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item.…

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the debate between representative democracy, and pure democracy in the United States, providing insights through a spirited exchange of letters between the author and President Theodore Roosevelt. The author establishes the historical context by noting the nation's founding under a representative democratic government, which was favored by many early statesmen such as Alexander Hamilton and Thomas Jefferson. However, the increasing popularity of progressive ideals and movements such as direct nomination elections, the initiative, the referendum, and the recall, reflect growing support for pure democracy. The author argues that such measures would be impractical and lead to political instability. The book provides a detailed examination of the strengths and weaknesses of each system with the goal of informing public opinion and promoting thoughtful consideration of these important governance models.
