their relatives, and such of the leading re.

Hawlev to write letter to Harding to kill
the bridge. Robinson got certain leading
republicans to sign paper to that effect
and then went to Washington to- "empIoy
certain republican members of congress to
kill appropriations. Robinson, SPencer,and
others. and the men they control, manage
and use the republican party to subserve
their own selfish ends regardless OF the III
tercsts of the people. They controlled their
senator and representative, their board OF
SUPERVISORS, and their newspaper, 10 their
infamous reputation Of their agreemnet to
pay the CITY $500 a year for their charter
and in fixing the rates Of terrlage;
and, after repudiatiug their contract, they
controlled their party leaders to cheat the
