Template for Political Party pamphlet


 Fold paper into 3 equal parts.  Like a tri-fold pamphlet.
(Don't worry about the dimensions...this is just an example of how to fold.  Follow the instructions on filling in the information.)


Inside...3 columns

Issues
Minimum of 9 issues
Explain the issue and your party’s view of the issue.

Use pages 92 – 132


Issues
Examples of issues:
·      Railroads
·      Corruption
·      Immigration
·      Big Business
·      Native Americans
·      Tenements
·      Deflation
·      Income tax
·      Civil Service
·      Tariffs
·      Interstate commerce and railroads
·      Political machines
·      Unions
·      Money supply
·      Public education
·      Social reforms
Many others to choose from.  You should choose the ones that you think (or your candidate thinks) are most important.

There should be three issues per column...in the tri-fold pamphlet.
 

Outside:
Endorsements (use left side column)

Need 3 “real” people from this era to endorse your candidate.
You should find or create a quote that may have been said by this person about your candidate.

Possible endorsements:
Andrew Carnegie
Herbert Spencer
Jacob Riis
Jane Addams
James J. Hill

Example:
“Candidate Jones has been a consistent support of the factory worker.  He is a proponent of the AFL.”
Samuel Gompers



Middle column:  Leave this area blank except for your name, block #, and the date.

3rd column on the right...
Front of the Pamphlet

Should have:

Candidate’s Name
Slogan
Symbol
Party affiliation
Anything to spark interest.
