II viii be remembered that not only
were grave charges made Of corrupt prac-
tees while the legislature was In session.
bus successful assaults were made upon
the methods employed In carrying certain
districts at the general election. and in
this connection Myers vas tried, convicted
and Imprisoned for classifying tally-sheets.
That subsequently and up 10 the time OF
bis making this speech he was In McI.ean's
employ. indicates that be he's stood well
with that chief manager OF the Payne CAM
paign.
II in making the above remarks Myers
was moved by an honest impulse; II be
was not bidding for a bribe; ii be shall

may he induced 10 tell all he knows, and 1t
Il believed that nobody except the leading
manipulators know more than he does.
In that case. in spite Of Payue's great
wealth, in spite OF the influence he was
able 10 exert on the Senate to prevent an
investigation; In spite Of the power he was
ahle 10 weld for the rejection OF Halstead,
the Standard Oh advocate may vet be
brought 10 grief. II such a thing shall
happen. II will be the most poetic and per.
feetly satisfactory vindication that Hal
stead could receive.
The moral Of this IL. thai corrupt politi.
cal manipulation Is a very dangerous bust
ness. those who engage in IL can never
know when they are oat Of the woods, and
leaving morals out OF ths question. il had
better be avoided
