The great Quaker City of this State las been con-
troiled By four political bosses VINO have had their
own way in everything. Soldiers have at long inter
walls secured political offices. but such occurren-
ces have been few and far between. The organiza-
/ ton OF war veterans which has been going on for
! the past few months ia very active manner. has
proven successful, and now about half of the ex-
soldiers in Philadelphia and vicinity have banded
themselves together for mutual protection, and 10
see that they get their just dues. IL is known 10
/ every one thai politicians have no time for any
/ body unless that person has influence of some
kind. 1t Is just true that the politicians
! OF both parties little for the veterans un-
! less the veterans are in position to say Gen
] uemen. we want such and such, and we
! must have it.'' If the leaders of the soldiers
use such words and have 1900 or 20 coo comrades
their backs the politicians Will them viii,

behind you, you will be laughed at. The War
Veterans Club OF Phliadelp nia Is already becoming
power Ia that city. aud The polilicians-Republi-
cans-are beginning to respect It. Capt. John Tay-

liked than he -. IN Philadelphia and Throughout

club is also supporting Gen James w. Latla for the
