| ask space in your columns to say |
endorse the sentiments of Democratic
Worker as expressed in his card In your
issue .Of 18TH and especially so, since
have read "Anti.COupOn S" reply.
Ii appears that democratic Worker"
was sued upon coupon tender, and
pending an appeal, is again sued for the
same debt. lie says Those and those
only are being sued the second time
who viii not promise TO discontinue the
use of coupons
"Anti-Coupon' replies, that is a
strictly correct statement Now Others
will be sued the second time"
This is a very positive statement, and
| conclude "Anti-COupOn" 10 be the
power behind the throne, and fully de-
termned 10 discriminate between classes
OF citizens in administering the laws.
Ihi, is indeed remarkable state OF af-
fairs, and fully concur In the views OF
Democratic Voter" who came TO the
rescue of Democratic Worker and
particularly In this Many voters are
cool, deliberate thinkers, and these, re-
membering wrongs, may fail in the fu-
ture 10 90 10 the polls and vote to con-
tinue the administration"
"Anti-Coupon" next proceeds 10 reply
10 Democratic Voter" but Is unwilling
10 hearken 10 the advice given; however,
"Ant-COupOn" admits the sOundness
tlcreof when be says, But the number
that will thus be converted by Mr.. Roy
all cannot make any serious change"
This seems to indict Mr.. Royal with
the intent Of oyerthrowing the Demo
cratic party. While | never for mo,
ment supposed he contemplated this,
was glad 10 see him respond and dis
claim any such purpose a. well as to adj
wise "Anti-Coupon" OF the great injury
the party will sustain by a continuance
of the discrimination which II seems that
"Anti.COupon" has insugurated.
"Anti-Coupon' proceeding now TO dis
cuss the coupon suit IN the appellate
court, propOunds this question 70 Demo
cratic Voter" when did Mr.. Royals
action become infsllible and demand that
the officers Of the State should suspend
the execution of alaw sanctioned by our
own courts, until he should get the
Supreme Court OF the United States 10
decide in his favorW will now add to
this interrogatory the declaration OF
"Anti.Coupon," in his reply to Demo
cratic Worker" to-wit. The State does
not mean to wait the pleasure OF her
enemies, nor abide any adverse decision
OF the Supreme Court in this matter.
She will work around any decision they
can make Rely on that.
This declaration is equally as positive
az the one to discriminate between clti-
zens and for the benefit OF the state, and
all of our citizens it is at least TO be
hoped that "Anti-Coupon" Is not in-
fallible.
Anti Coupon closes his reply to
Democratic Voter with another
interrogatory, viz; What sort OF
Democracy is that that would require
the State administration TO halt as
soon as Mr.. Royal cocks his blunder-
bus and points il at themg'
Now il must be remembered that the
true definition of this formidable shoot.
ing machine is "a short gun" and II VIII
not scare so many votes for Democracy
As the one "Anti-Coupon' is using, and /
trust "Anti-Coupon" may awake 10 inc
interest of Democracy and cease 10 dis-
crimiuate in administering the law, else
many, yss, verymany, may be shot.
