How do you Democrats (who have been
staying with the nominees of your party
and been voting for John German for fat
office for twenty years with almost unpar-
alleled tidelity) feel on the question of con
tnuing King Jack in Office for life? Can
you feel any enthusiasm in the matter OF
elcctng him for a tenth or eleventh term,
especially on who are competent to fill |
any office in the county, but are not good
wire-pullers, and consequently have never
received nomination German has new
er shown disposition to step aside and
give airy of you a chance for the best pay
ing office, and you well know that he can,
and has, and will continue to get away
with you in conventions. Jack is a grand
success at the business of packing a CON
vention, and he will beat you right along.
Notwithstanding this you have stood by
} him simply because he was the regular
: nominee Isn't it about time for fidelit5
to cease to be a virtue? Is German any
better or more competent than you? VIII
., you say by your vote that he is the only
man in the county who can fill the Sher-
< ifs office, and that the machinery Of said
: office would stop short If boss Jack were
$ forced to step down and out? Is he a
+ little god to be looked up to by you,
!. who are his equal OF superior? Notmuch.
Hasn't his game been played long enough
% for fidelity to the entire ticket to cease to
e be duty you owe your party. In fact
I, do you consider that you owe the candi-
n date for the principal office anything
n Are you not getting tired of his "lal gag-
ging," soft talk and blarney, which is Civ
en- in increased doses every two years just
IL before election? Does his sweet oil and
L goose grease put any fat on your ribs or a
a cent in your pocket: Not much. Jack
v gets the fat and you get cheap, slick talk
70 and tiattery, which is of no value to you
and it costs King Jack nothing. Jack
