tlsmsu now 10 the asld In this State for
that high Office. however. possess both
brains and ability as well Al plsthoric
sacks, and both are determined to win.
In accordance with the Aforesaid popu-
lar idea, the most libsrally.handled
sack should be the one to win. and 1t Is
openly said. even here, that such will
DO the case; that there will be more
purchased voters in this campaign than
svsr seen on any occasion OF the kind
heretofore. Another popular idea 10
that Democrats are easier bought than
Republicans; also. that certain classes
and ns~tionalitiss 10 the Republican
party can be bought up with the most
perfect facility whenever required. II
such were really the case. 1t would be

osnary decision Al whom q should

they have Fairs sack to slost hopefully

sciousness that two sacks are better than

And Is II really true that there are

There are legitimate and heavy eI.

political campaign, and from the sack

The sinews OF war Of either party must

Back meets sack. but let those sacks be
held in judicious check. No monsysd

10 time that honest political
work. adequately rsmuneratsd and
effectively carried on, should rule.

studying a. to which sack they shall

party and should DO squarsly ignored or
