We are on the track OF an affidavit

Who was il that twenty-three
years ago sold the remains OF his
motherin-law to an oleomargarine

for the suffrsges of his fellow-citi.

Scriptures, shall be reiegated to the
obscurity to which he Is no stranger.
How are we to protect the purity
of our American institutions II we
permit the election OF "a social pus cavi-
~ like Ephriam q. Brown. How
could We look foreign powers In the
face when they joked us in broken
English about our oleomsrgarine, and
sneeringiy asked Us whether We were
making il this season mos.l y with or
without mother-in-law in II.
Our way Is clear and plain. No
smirch or n. vote. Let there be no
fooiishness or funny business about
the campaign. Let Oleomargarine
Brown remember this. Let this stub
born fact slash around lonely and
desolate 10 his fermented brain. The
opinion OF the Buzzard cannot be
bought When we are 50 lost to all
honor that our support can be bought
by horse kleptomanisc whose life is
Ia the hands OF 9 disorganizsd and
incompetent vigilance committee we
win forward q stated bid TO Brown,
the alleged human being; Brown. the
biped blot on the face OF nature:
Brown, the social wart; Brown, the
political execresence; Brown. the &C
cidental incuubus OF the .country in
which he lives. Until then we shall
shout for purity In politics till our
tonsils cleave TO tbs roof of our
mouth. Until then. with pen OF fire
and In four-line plea letters of living
light. we will proclaim through these
pages that our ballot aad our latest
breath are dedicated TO the joyous
task OF bursting Brown. And should
this announcement catch the eye Of
Brown. and should Brown demur to
any of these sentiments which we
have given expression to in the fore
going. and should he yearn for q per-
sonal interview, be will find Us at the
head Of the stairs Jerking the archi-
median lever OF the Washington
press, ready At all times to welcome
him with the three-to plea monkey
wrench. and 10 feed the false-hearted
statesman with his own false teeth ("
