Look at the back pension act, for IN

extent Of hundreds Of millions of dollars.
1t offers big premium on rascality.

The President has his weathsr-eye on
Kentucky; John D. White has persuade ed
him that there are 900 old Wings and
Union men in Kentucky, who have only
been kept solid within the Democratic

compensation. These he thinks can be
