You see, Mr.. Eagle, can get heaps of votes
To pool with yours and those OF the coyotes,
I'm against combines, its not worth while tt
mention,
But they are good thing to have in a big STATE
convention.
So then We'll make combine

In the ranks of the Barney KS.
The Morrills, Bob Moores and Dick Blues
And Wen down the McCarty Tins,
The prohibition TrOutman Jims
And all that measely crew
The Crow and the Eagle should amalgamate
Upon q ticket from the Sunfower state

And one who is not stuck on the obnoxious

THE EAGLE TO THE CROW.
Old he Barnacle, you frighten me with such
political galore,
For I'm sure there's nothing OF this glory in
store
For red-headed editor like me-
I'd like to be Governor, as everybody knows,
But doubt the ability of all you Crows
And Eagles too, to bring this thing about.
For thirty-four years I've tit in the ranks
Along with you and lots of other cranks,
Without any glory and id little thanks;
And at this day and age to howl for place,
Don't strike me as coming with very good grace
From proud bird like the Eagle.
To break the machine and cut it in twain
s thing that I've tried again and again,
But the more it is busted the stronger it grows,
And where the strength comes from the Lord
only knows.

knows
Night get lots of votes before winters close,
And the combine in general might be made to
But at this early date nobody can tell
ust how it might come out.

3ut failure would end US in political dam
nation.
The coyotes are with me and will howl bold
defiance
% the political combine known as the Farm
erS Alliance.
