To arms Republicans ... Every Republican in Wisconsin should go armed to the polls on Election Day. The grain stacks, houses, and barns of active Democrats should be burned; their children burned and their wives outraged, that they may understand that the Republican party is the one which is bound to rule, and the one they should vote for or keep their vile carcasses away from the polls. If they go to the polls ... meet them on the road, in the bush, on the hill, or anywhere, and shoot every one of the base cowards and agitators. If they are too strong in any locality, and succeed on putting their opposition votes into the ballot box, break open the box and tear in shreds their discord-breathing ballots.
