And to this all should be add

and Senator Gray's salary as
attorney for the Delaware
Railroad Company. 10000
"This is the list now as far as / can
think OF them, but here you will see
that In the last few years about $l7O..
900 OF Government money has gone
Into the pockets OF Gray and his rela-
tons directly through the Efforts OF
Senator Gray, who Fowler says hasn't
time to look out for places for his
constituents. Again say that Fow-
Ter certainly made a mistake when
he invited comparison OF the work
Of the two Senators In this
line. Higgins has secured scores
OF appointments, not one OF them for a
relation. Gray has secured appoint
ments for mighty few but his own re-
lations.
Further, see Fowler takes occasion
to make dirty fling at Senator Hig-
gins private secretary, entirely I'M
called for, and entirely outside the is
sue he tries to answer, and slur that
no sensible man ever believed had a
word OF truth in it. In this Fowler
showed that he could stoop to do
some very dirty work. He lodges the
main cause OF our complaint. We say
that George Gray is in the employ of,
and is controlled by the Pennsylvania
railroad Company. He is one OF their
legal advisers.
We say further that this corporation
Is no friend to the Delaware farmer. 1t
is and has been our enemy-fights our
interests and every point. Wa said
iurther that these corporation attor-
neys were ousted from their seats in
the United States Senate by the far
mers and worltingmen of other States;
this fact MIR. Fowler must be CONVEX.
SAINT with. Will he tell us why? We're
these farmers also fools; think thoy
knew what they were doing-and let
me tell you SO do we and If you live till
next fall you'll see we mean business.
Fowler further says that its non
sense to think that a corporation can
control Its attorneys vote in the Uni
ted States Senate. How about Tom
Bayard and the Diamond State Match
Monopoly Does Fowler remember
that Bayard as the paid attorney of the
match monopoly stood in the Senate
and fought against taking the tax Off
matches because the monopoly didn't
want them taken of although the peo-
pie did? The people of Delaware
haven't forgotten this. Fowler then
goes on about the Railroad monopo-
lies only employs the most brilliant
ana able men as their attorneys and
its because OF their wonderful abil.
ity that they are employed, and he
sheers at Senator Higgins because he
insn' u corporationattorney.
Why, Fowler certainly don't prove
himself much of politician in this,
and it will hardly help him in his in
suranco commissioner fight. Why. /
can take him to Dover and show him
men who couldn't win a three-cent
case In court, and yet they are in the
pay OF and carry free passes over the
Pennsylvania Railroad--why? Simply
because they are lobbyists, that's what
railroad monopoly wants, men who
can work for them in legislative bod
les and IL they can plant man on tho
hoor OF the United States Senate
where vote will count, why any
blamed TOOL knows that lie Is worth a
dozen men In the lobby.
These are our beliefs and sentiments
aud even ii we arc only ignorant tillers
OF the soil we are going to carry them
to tho polls next November and call
OF the Pennsylvania Railroad innu.
