Kearney condemns the church, the press,
corporations, and people who have money.
He does not take for his subject the bad
side of people, but that is really what he is
talking about. But, in his view, only GER

people of corporation, and people who save
the money they earn The inference is,

who was nominated by the Greenbackers of
Colorado for the Office of Superintendent of
Public Instruction. He is repudiationist.
No repudiationist is ft to teach children.
No such a man is fit to teach school. He
was called on for speech, and said GO am
not ashamed of the platform adopted here
today. 1 AM not ashamed of the hint at
reputation. If / were about to die to-day
/ would cast my vote for reputation. If
